“Unhappy man! Do you share my madness? Have you drunk also of the intoxicating draught? Hear me – let me reveal my tale, and you will dash the cup from your lips!” – Mary Shelley Frankenstein, Robert Walton in “Letter 4”. Victor Frankenstein decides to tell Walton his story to warn him of the perils of ambition and pursuit of dangerous knowledge.
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” – The Bible Matthew 26:27-28
People actually get sponsors based on the merits of the Cup, not on the merits of the sailors. – John Sweeney
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose. – The Bible Matthew 10:42
