Wine books flow from printing presses like water from broken spigots.

My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine - everybody drinks water.

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

High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water.

Wine is sunlight, held together by water!

Fish, to taste good, must swim three times: in water, in butter, and in wine
