"She commenced drinking alone, little, short drinks all throughout the day... Alone, it blurred sharp things for her. She lived in a haze of it. Her life took on a dream-like quality. Nothing was astonishing."

Hey there Tralala, I believe (after alot of googling and searching) that it was Dorothy Parker who made your quote.Tralala wrote:Benny Franklin and the Wild Turkeys.

That's gotta be either Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or Sir Elton John. Or Conan the Barbarian. I'll go with Conan the Barbarian.Gannon wrote: How about....

HaHa, Conan the Barbarian is wrong, you should have gone with your first pick, Arthur Conan Doyle. Wait, hang on a minute were you being sarcastic.


I know that your quote was made by Albert Camus.
