“If reassurances could dull pain, nobody would ever go to the trouble of pressing grapes.”
Amethyst || From the Koine Greek ἀμέθυστος (amethystos), from ἀ- (a-), "not", and μεθύσκω (methysko)/μεθύω (methyo), "intoxicate", a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness.
