Oh! my friend, when you feel bursting on your lips the vow of eternal love, do not be afraid to yield, but do not confound wine with intoxication; do not think the cup divine because the draft is of celestial flavor; do not be astonished to find it broken and empty in the evening.

Oh! My Friend, When You Feel Bursting

Alfred De Musset
Oh! my friend, when you feel bursting on your lips the vow of eternal love, do not be afraid to yield, but do not confound wine with intoxication; do not think the cup divine because the draft is of celestial flavor; do not be astonished to find it broken and empty in the evening.

More From Alfred De Musset

Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. you need to start somewhere. start by getting something-anything-down on paper. a friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft-you just get it down. the second draft is the up draft-you fix it up. you try to say what you have to say more accurately. and the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to see if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, god help us, healthy.
Writing Effort Healthy
I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!

And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive

I would like a wine. the purpose of the wine is to get me drunk. a bad wine will get me as drunk as a good wine. i would like the good wine. and since the result is the same no matter which wine i drink, i'd like to pay the bad wine price.
Wine Drunk Purpose
Emptiness the starting point. — in order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. my friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. do you know why this cup is useful? because it is empty.

First draft: let it run. turn all the knobs up to 11. second draft: hell. cut it down and cut it into shape. third draft: comb its nose and blow its hair. i usually find that most of the book will have handed itself to me on that first draft.

All religions try to benefit people, with the same basic message of the need for love and compassion, for justice and honesty, for contentment. so merely changing formal religious affiliations will often not help much. on the other hand, in pluralistic, democratic societies, there is the freedom to adopt the religion of your choice. this is good. this lets curious people like you run around on the loose!
