Babe, you've destroyed a car, burned down two buildings, stapled a guy's nuts, and you have sixteen stitches in your leg. Take a night off. Have a glass of wine, watch some television, and go to bed early. -Ranger - Janet Evanovich Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine. - Thomas Aquinas We all need something to help us unwind at the end of the day. You might have a glass of wine, or a joint, or a big delicious blob of heroin to silence your silly brainbox of its witterings but there has to be some form of punctuation, or life just seems utterly relentless. - Russell Brand She drank a glass of wine and looked for something new to ruin with her lack of talent. - Chuck Palahniuk What fools we are, eh? What fools, sitting here in the sun, singing. And of love, too! I am too old for it and you are too young, and yet we waste our time singing about it. Ah, well, let's have a glass of wine, eh? - Gerald Durrell I'll tell you the truth: I had ...

The sun has blessed you," Sarita used to say. "Look how he has left his kisses on your face for all to see and be jealous." "The sun loves you more," I said, rubbing my hands over her dry arms, the color of an aged wine gourd, and she laughed. But this is not India and we are not prized for our freckles here. The sun is not allowed to show his love. - Libba Bray Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating! - Leo Buscaglia

A bottle of wine was good company. - Ernest Hemingway We sat around on a hotel balcony with a bottle of wine and tried to figure out how you would go about blowing up a planet. That's the kind of conversations science fiction writers have when they get together. We don't talk about football or anything like that. - Kevin J Anderson First, he says, you have to go out into the world. This is not a simple matter of going outside one's door. No, that is simply going out. That's what one does when one is on the way to the store to buy a loaf of bread, some cheese, and a bottle of wine. When one goes out into the world, one is shedding preconceptions of past paths and ideas of past paths, and trying to move freely through an unsubstantiated and new geography. - Jesse Ball A sweetheart is a bottle of wine, a wife is a wine bottle. - Charles Baudelaire When I was younger I used to get my best writing done at night, but now it has to be during the day. I usually finish work...

She wants to drink that man too, and then she can forget forever the cheap wine that you gulp down and that makes you feel drunk, but always leaves you with a headache and an empty space in your soul. - Paulo Coelho My objection to war was not that I had to kill somebody or be killed senselessly, that hardly mattered. What I objected to was to be denied the right to sit in a small room and starve and drink cheap wine and go crazy in my own way and at my own leisure. - Charles Bukowski And we used to do a lot of drugs and get very drunk on very cheap wine. - Santiago Durango Most Religions are Social Clubs with expensive Entertainment Cheap Wine and Stale Crackers - Stanley Victor Paskavich A lot of religions are 'Social Clubs' with strange rules, expensive entertainment, cheap wine and stale crackers. - Stanley Victor Paskavich

What is better than to sit at the end of the day and drink wine with friends, or substitutes for friends? - James Joyce Eventually my goal is get a place in Ojai where I can have animals and a big garden. Just drink wine all day and hang in my garden. - Michelle Branch Life is too short, and I'm Italian. I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0. - Sophia Bush He muttered to himself. Why bother. Why does this matter so much. What difference does it make to anything if I solve this blue and just start again. I could just sit down and drink wine. I could go and be useful in a cholera-camp in Columbia or Ethiopia. Why bother to render the transparency in solid paint or air on a bit of board? I could just stop. He could not. - A S Byatt I collect art, and I drink wine... things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, 'I'm going to buy art to impress this crowd.' That's just ridiculous to me. I don't live my life like ...

Forty-three years old, he is handsome and he knows it, but it's not a view that is held with arrogance. His opinion on his looks are merely understood with the same logic he applies to tasting a fine wine. The grape was merely grown in the right place, under the right conditions. Some degree of nurturing and love mixed with later moments of being completely trampled on and walked all over. - Cecelia Ahern Sorry, Carlos. What have you got? (Terri) Plenty of fine wine and silk sheets with a high threat count. (Carlos) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Alan: "I had terrible stage fright." Sin: "I'm not familiar with the concept of 'stage fright.'" A: "It's pretty awful. You end up having to picture the entire audience in their underwear. Phyllis was in that audience, you know." S: "Why, Alan, I had no idea your tastes ran that way." A: "Phyllis is a very nice lady. And I do not consider her so much aged as matured, like a fine wine. But ...

Babe, you've destroyed a car, burned down two buildings, stapled a guy's nuts, and you have sixteen stitches in your leg. Take a night off. Have a glass of wine, watch some television, and go to bed early. -Ranger - Janet Evanovich Look I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated. - Jennifer Aniston Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine. - Thomas Aquinas And won't he grow up to be the healthiest of young men, all because she kept him safe? Ready for the world. Ready to one day conquer it. To travel. Get on a train. Go to work. Get blown out of her life. Maybe she should be having that glass of wine and cigarette after all. - Melina Marchetta We all need something to help us unwind at the end of the day. You might have a glass of wine, or a joint, or a big delicious blob of...

Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. - Athenaeus Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. - Francis Bacon I'm like old wine.

I had a little epiphany when I was a writer at 'Chicago' magazine. I sat down to dinner at the Ritz-Carlton. Somebody poured a white dessert wine with chocolate cake. It was a wine I would never have expected to make sense. The idea of any wine tasting fabulous with chocolate cake was fascinating to me. - Ted Allen You have a wine tasting of different years, and we're sort of doing that with our music, giving them a taste of what Journey used to be like. - Jonathan Cain Time for Wine Tasting 101. "So here's how this works. When tasting a wine, as opposed to casual drinking, there are four basic steps you need to remember: sight, smell, taste, then spit or swallow." Nick paused at that last part and cocked his head. "And your personal preference on the latter would be...?" "Only lightweights spit." His right eye twitched. - Julie James And then when she takes him through the whole wine tasting process, finishing with a long, languid tast...

A wine shop was open and I went in for some coffee. It smelled of early morning, of swept dust, spoons in coffee-glasses and the wet circles left by wine glasses. - Ernest Hemingway The wine glasses are empty except for that one undrinkable red spot at the bottom. - Aimee Bender Nothing grows among its pinnacles; there is no shade except under great toadstools of sandstone whose bases have been eaten to the shape of wine glasses by the wind. Everything is flaking, cracking, disintegrating, wearing away in the long, inperceptible weather of time. The ash of ancient volcanic outbursts still sterilizes its soil, and its colors in that waste are the colors that flame in the lonely sunsets on dead planets. - Loren Eiseley I would just like to say that opera is no longer about fat people in breastplates shattering wine glasses. - Lesley Garrett

A wine shop was open and I went in for some coffee. It smelled of early morning, of swept dust, spoons in coffee-glasses and the wet circles left by wine glasses. - Ernest Hemingway You said you left Mississippi in 1854," Ron says. He turns to Mamuwalde and asks "Were you a runaway slave?" "Not at all," Cindy Lou answers. "Daddy freed him." Ron's jaw almost hits the floor. His wine glass does. - Daven Anderson My memory of my mom is a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She was a runway fashion model, and she was quite a glamorous woman. - Loni Anderson The wine glasses are empty except for that one undrinkable red spot at the bottom. - Aimee Bender Nothing grows among its pinnacles; there is no shade except under great toadstools of sandstone whose bases have been eaten to the shape of wine glasses by the wind. Everything is flaking, cracking, disintegrating, wearing away in the long, inperceptible weather of time. The ash...

Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures. - M F K Fisher My wife and I love to host wine and cheese parties. They are simple and elegant and you don't have to put a lot of effort and time into it. - Tyler Florence In France, I learned about wine and cheese. - Walter Wager

White wine is like electricity. Red wine looks and tastes like a liquified beefsteak. - James Joyce As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans. - Ernest Hemingway I don't trust the answers or the people who give me the answers. I believe in dirt and bone and flowers and fresh pasta and salsa cruda and red wine. I don't believe in white wine; I insist on color. - Charles Bowden I had my first French meal and I never got over it. It was just marvelous. We had oysters and a lovely dry white wine. And then we had one of those lovely scalloped dishes and the lovely, creamery buttery sauce. Then we had a roast duck and I don't know what else. - Julia Child Nanny Ogg appreciated...
