Bitter Herbs

Famous quotes containing the words bitter and/or herbs:

    I am devoted to those who endured, like Colette. It is easier ... to kiss the world a bitter goodbye than to go on working, writing, changing, enduring the slings & arrows of outrageous aging. Colette endured. And she wrote & wrote & wrote. Whenever I feel really depressed, I think of her & keep going.
    Erica Jong (b. 1942)

    Bear only perfumes and the scent
    Of healing herbs to just men’s fields!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
