I have no friends, I only have accomplices now. On the other hand, my accomplices are more numerous than my friends: they are the human race.

Albert Camus

The best drunks are the ones who only hang out with other drunks in places we all know are filled with drunks.

Greg Fitzsimmons

The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are far more intelligent than non-drunks- they spend a lot of time talking in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides of their head like a drunk does.

Shane MacGowan

Booze is the greatest of all equalizers. Rich drunks and poor drunks both pass out the same way.

Chuck Klosterman

The sad fact is that the vast majority of drunks stay drunks. There's a small minority of us who reach that fork in the road where one side says 'live' and the other says 'drink'.

John Larroquette

The wicked can have only accomplices, the voluptuous have companions in debauchery, self-seekers have associates, the politic assemble the factions, the typical idler has connections, princes have courtiers. Only the virtuous have friends.

Voltaire

How enriched life is by friends! Good friends, new friends, old friends, feathered friends, feline friends, friends of friends.

Laurel Burch

Dining out is a vice, a dissipation of spirit punished by remorse. We eat, drink, and talk a little too much, abuse all our friends, belch out our literary preferences and are egged on by accomplices in the audience to acts of mental exhibitionism. Such evenings cannot fail to diminish those who take part in them. They end on Monkey Hill.

Cyril Connolly

No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.

Edward R. Murrow

Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent.

George Steiner

I seek to cast an incorruptible gaze on women, especially where they are the accomplices of men.

Elfriede Jelinek

More than mother and son, they were accomplices in solitude.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Those who minister to poverty and disease are accomplices in the two worst of all the crimes.

George Bernard Shaw

Now, the term 'friend' is a little loose. People mock the 'friending' on social media, and say, 'Gosh, no one could have 300 friends!' Well, there are all kinds of friends. Those kinds of 'friends,' and work friends, and childhood friends, and dear friends, and neighborhood friends, and we-walk-our-dogs-at-the-same-time friends, etc.

Gretchen Rubin

I grew up with white friends, Asian friends - Vietnamese, Chinese, Pacific Islanders. I had Hispanic friends, not just Mexican friends, but Guatemalan friends, Honduran friends, and we knew the difference, you know?

Ryan Coogler

Journalists must not be made accomplices by the secret service to solve its own problems.

Hubert Burda
