“I understand that absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.”
-Ernest Dowson
“Everything tastes of licorice, especially all the things he’s waited so long for, like absinthe.”
-Ernest Hemingway
“After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.”
~Oscar Wilde
“What is there in absinthe that makes it a separate cult? … Even in ruin and in degradation it remains a thing apart: its victims wear a ghastly aureole all their own, and in their peculiar hell yet gloat with a sinister perversion of pride that they are not as other men.” — Aleister Crowley
