Get drunk!

"You must be drunk all the time. It all boils down to this: that's the only question. In order not to feel the horrible burden of time, breaking your swords, throwing you to the ground, you need to get drunk restlessly.

But with what? With wine, poetry, virtue. As you wish. But get y'all drunk

And if ever, on the steps of a palace, on the green grass of a ditch, in the warm solitude of your room, you wake up with diminished or disappeared drunkenness, ask the wind, the place, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that flees, everything that moans, everything that rolls, everything that sings, everything that speaks, ask what time it is. And the wind, the pole, the star, the bird, the clock will answer you: - It's time to get drunk! So as not to be martyred slaves of time, get drunk! Get drunk to and to stop! With wine, poetry, virtue! As you wish!"

— Charles Baudelaire, In Poems In Prose
