Only literary figure I can think of from Bal'moar is Edgar Allan Poe.

So let's try that.

Hold on a minute...

Your gracious host FUCKED UP ON THE CLUE!!!

The quote is correct. But please disregard the clues "Sage of Baltimore" and "American Neitzsche".
In it's place, I will give the HINT "he was a famous poet (died in 1971) known for regular contributions to The New Yorker and as something of an anti-establishment figure during the Great Depression".

Also... none of the answers given so far are correct.
All contestants get to guess again.
And, for the inconvenience, the question value is raised to +15.

My apologies.

Allen Ginsberg? No, he lived longer. One of his older friends whose name just escaped me maybe.

Gall was right. Nash.

Gall for the chalkboard.

Yes, the correct answer is Ogden Nash.

However...
Due to my error, it would be more prudent to scrap the question
And post another.
Again, my apologies.

The category is Drinking Quotes.
A correct answer will earn +10 points...

*Name the famous statesman and martini connoisseur who once said "I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me".

Indubitably.

Winsome Churchswill, do I get a point if I get the answer right after somebody else has posted it?
