"I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink
it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am.
Otherwise I never touch it. Unless I'm thirsty."

~ Lily Bollinger, on Champagne

"Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector.
It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors
are only a challenge to tell lies successfully."

~ Graham Greene
