By the way ...
„Son, never
trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a
man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good
men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the
world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks
but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside,
either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean or violent. You can’t trust a
man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who
occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning
something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to
survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when
he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.”
