I love everything that is old; old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine

The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one

Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.

A thousand cups of wine do not suffice when true friends meet, but half a sentence is too much when there is no meeting of minds.
