Today, the popularity of coffee cannot be overestimated. In the whole world it is sold so much that it is second only to oil - and this is an important evidence of the importance of this drink in the life of a modern person. What did great people say about him?
Coffee is one of Churchill's favorite drinks.
Opens a list of prominent politician - Winston Churchill. He owns the famous quote about coffee: “Coffee is a very personal drink. It, like cognac, cannot be drunk in circles! ” There are many myths about Churchill's life and habits. However, it is reliably known that the greatest politician was not indifferent to this drink.
There is a joke that once one of the ladies belonging to high society told Churchill: “If I were your wife, Mr. Churchill, I would pour poison into your coffee!” To which the politician calmly replied: "And if I were your husband, I would certainly drink it."
Coffee and creativity
The musician Johann Strauss owns a poetic quote about coffee: "For inspiration, I only need an open piano, silence and a cup of coffee." Indeed, a fragrant black drink for many creative people is a way to cheer up and start the creative process. Writing musical works, paintings, plays - all this requires a strain of mind, concentration. It is difficult to engage in such activities when the body is weak and half asleep. This invigorating drink is an excellent means for the creative process to take place intensively and intently.
Great coffee lover - Voltaire
An interesting quote about coffee belongs to the lips of Voltaire. He said: “If coffee is poison, it is extremely slow. After all, I’ve been dying from him for more than half a century. ” Voltaire himself lived as long as 84 years - and this despite the hard life and unchanging passion for a drink of vivacity.
They told about Voltaire that every day he drank about 50 cups of this drink. Of course, this figure is absolutely unthinkable, because then the great poet, philosopher and historian would have to drink it more than two times per hour. However, there is no smoke without fire - most likely, such conclusions were made by no means in vain. One of Voltaire’s servants dared to ask for a double salary after he timely replenished the supply of coffee beans at the moment when they suddenly ended.

Quotes about the coffee of great people show that this drink always helped them in their work, facilitated their work.

He was a talented writer and at the same time a workaholic. Thanks to his efforts, people today can enjoy beautiful literary works.
Balzac also wrote his novels not without the help of an invigorating drink. However, it is unlikely that anyone could repeat the regime of the day of the great writer without harming his health: Balzac went to bed at seven in the morning and slept until one in the afternoon. Then he woke up and got to work. In the evening he slept for one hour and again began to work until morning. However, Balzac owns not only individual quotes about coffee. He is also the author of A Treatise on Modern Aphrodisiacs, which, apparently, he was well versed in.
Beethoven - lover of aromatic drink
Another lover of this drink was the great musician Ludwig van Beethoven. He believed that in one of his cups should contain no less, as many as 60 grains. Beethoven was a rather temperamental man. However, one day a legend about coffee came off his lips. The musician came to curse the landlord. Beethoven said: “Do you deign, gracious sir, to have a cup of coffee before you leave?”
