Famous quotes containing the word bitter:

One fills their cup at supper with pure wine,
Which back they give at cross-time on a sponge,
In bitter vinegar.”

“Women, despite the fact that nine out of ten of them go through life with a death-bed air either of snatching-the-last-moment or with martyr-resignation, do not die tomorrow—or the next day. They have to live on to any one of many bitter ends.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

“It is so much more difficult to live with one’s body than with one’s soul. One’s body is so much more exacting: what it won’t have it won’t have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
