Wine gives a man nothing. It neither gives him knowledge nor wit; it only animates a man, and enables him to bring out what a dread of the company has repressed. It only puts in motion what had been locked up in frost. – Samuel Johnson
Set out from any point. They are all alike. They all lead to a point of departure. – Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin
