I think the best evenings are when we have messages, things that make us think, but we can also laugh and enjoy each other's company.

There are not infrequent times when a bottle of wine, a good dinner, a girl of some trivial sort can fill the hour for me.

From wine what sudden friendship springs!

A bottle of wine was good company.

They talk on about death, about boredom, they drink wine, they laugh, they have a good time, they are happy.

I like on the table,
when we're speaking,
the light of a bottle
of intelligent wine.

The pleasures of friendship, of unreserved conversation, of similarity of taste and opinions will make good amends for orange wine.

I love reading and visiting museums and galleries, which is also part of my work. Talking with friends over a home-cooked meal is my favorite way to spend an evening.

Ah, it was a fine night, a warm night, a wine-drinking night, a moony night, and a night to hug your girl and talk and spit and be heavengoing.

What is better than to sit at the end of the day and drink wine with friends, or substitutes for friends?

Friendship is the wine of life.

An idea of great merit! While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past.

Farewell, woman! I intend Henceforth every night to sit With my lewd, well-natured friend, Drinking to engender wit.

I'm in a position now where I really have to think whether I should go to a pub, but I go from time to time with friends and have a glass of wine. It's good to show that a bishop is a normal person.
