Benny Franklin and the Wild Turkeys.

"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.

How about....

DEPEND UPON IT THERE COMES A TIME WHEN FOR EVERY ADDITION OF KNOWLEDGE YOU FORGET SOMETHING THAT YOU KNEW BEFORE. IT IS OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE, THEREFORE, NOT TO HAVE USELESS FACTS ELBOWING OUT THE USEFUL ONES.

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

@Tralala

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. :D :D

I know that your quote was made by Albert Camus.

How about....
