Dorothy AllisonDon't go taking that gospel stuff seriously. It's nice to clean you out now and then, but it ain't for real. It's like bad whiskey. Run through you fast and leave you with pain.
About This Quote
There’s a point where bad whiskey can be fun and there’s another point where it’s not. Bad whiskey is like religion; if you drink too much of it, it will leave you with a pain that never goes away. The same goes for religion. It should be taken lightly and enjoyed as a high, but it should never be taken seriously.
