Cocaine produces the same high as falling in love
Intoxication is in the world itself. The more a man drinks of the world, the more it intoxicates.
Intoxication is a kind of existential awakening. A man does not exist until he is drunk.

Intoxication is a kind of kindness, an indescribable gloss and glamour like the memories of ephemeral and faded evenings.
Intoxication is indispensable as a physiological precondition for art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist.
Intoxication is of two types:: The stupid, unimaginative stumbling man whose body is drunk and the imaginative visionary whose brain is drunken.
Intoxication is responsible for preserving the possibility of life. Once we are sober we cannot help seeing that it is all a delusion, a stupid delusion.
