Bitter Gold

Famous quotes containing the words bitter and/or gold:

    Where had her sweetness gone?
    What fanatics invent
    In this blind bitter town,
    Fantasy or incident
    Not worth thinking of,
    Put her in a rage.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is, of course, a gold mine or a buried treasure on every mortgaged homestead. Whether the farmer ever digs for it or not, it is there, haunting his daydreams when the burden of debt is most unbearable.
    Fawn M. Brodie (1915–1981)
