Quote of the Day (Ambrose Bierce, Defining “Brandy”)


“BRANDY, n. A cordial composed of one part thunder-and-lightning, one part remorse, two parts bloody murder, one part death-hell-and-the- grave and four parts clarified Satan. Dose, a headful all the time. Brandy is said by Dr. Johnson to be the drink of heroes. Only a hero will venture to drink it.”—Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)
