"In the cockpit, the excitement of racing lies in controlling the car within very fine limits. Motor racing is really a great balancing act, having the car broken away and drifting, doing exactly as you want it to and getting around corners as quickly as possible, knowing that you've done this and hoping that you've done it better than any other driver.

You aim at perfection, without ever actually achieving it. But every so often you can say, 'That's it. Now beat that, you bastards.' This is the essence of motor racing. In this Jimmy was unsurpassed in his era."

~ Graham Hill
World Champion 1962, 1968

[Taking about his friend and team mate Jim Clark who died April 7, 1968 @ a formula 2 race in Hockenheim race track]

"I eat when I'm hungry,
I drink when I'm dry.
If whiskey don't kill me,
I'll live till I die."

But in Dylan Thomas's case it was sooner than later.
He supposedly drank 23 neat Scotches, said "That's a recod I believe" and died.
