SO GOOD QUOTES

Drunkards are more pitiable than those sailing on dangerous waters insofar as the latter blame winds, the sea, and external forces, but the former willingly choose to enter the storm of drunkenness.  Whoever is possessed by a demon is pitiable, but whoever is drunk, even though he suffers the same things, does not deserve our pity because he wrestles with a demon of his own choosing.

—St. Basil the Great, On Fasting and Feasts: St. Basil the Great, Homily Against Drunkards
