“You may not be her first, her last, or her only."

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”

― Bob Marley

"Let us have wine and woman, mirth and laughter . . ."

“Let us have wine and woman, mirth and laughter,

Sermons and soda water the day after.

Man, being reasonable, must get drunk;

The best of life is but intoxication:

Glory, the grape, love, gold, in these are sunk

The hopes of all men, and of every nation;

Without their sap, how branchless were the trunk

Of life's strange tree, so fruitful on occasion:

But to return--Get very drunk; and when

You wake with head-ache, you shall see what then.”

― George Gordon Byron, Don Juan

"They're professionals at this in Russia . . ."

“They're professionals at this in Russia, so no matter how many Jell-O shots or Jager shooters you might have downed at college mixers, no matter how good a drinker you might think you are, don't forget that the Russians - any Russian - can drink you under the table.”

― Anthony Bourdain, A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines

"I like to have a martini . . ."

“I like to have a martini,

Two at the very most.

After three I'm under the table,

after four I'm under my host.”

― Dorothy Parker, The Collected Dorothy Parker

"A well played trombone . . ."

You can never say how much you appreciate a well played trombone without it sounding wrong. And you can never tell who is going to show up and play jazz at the Amsterdam Bar. The lineup keeps changing to keep the music fresh and improvisational, the way good jazz is supposed to be.

The music usually starts around 10:00 pm, but get there early if you want a seat!
