"One must always be drunk. That's all: it's the only problem. In order not to feel the horrible burden of Time that breaks your back and holds you to the ground, you must get drunk unceasingly. But on what? On wine, poetry or virtue: as you like. But get drunk. And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace, on the green grass of a ditch, in the dreary solitude of your room, you wake up because the drunkenness has diminished or disappeared, ask the wind, the stars, the birds, the clock, everything that flees, everything that groans, everything that flows, everything that sings, everything that speaks, ask what time it is; and the wind, the waves, the stars, the birds, the clock will answer you: "It's time to get drunk! In order not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk, get drunk constantly! On wine, poetry or virtue, as you please.""
