Charles BaudelaireOne should always be drunk. That's all that matters... But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.
About This Quote
In this quote, Oscar Wilde is speaking about the power of getting drunk. When we get drunk, we feel as if we can accomplish anything. We have become so intoxicated with alcohol that we have become numb to the world around us. We can no longer see reality as it truly is.
Since we have been drunk, we have forgotten who we are and what is important to us. This quote speaks about the danger of alcohol, but it also speaks about our own self-worth and what matters to us most in life.
