William Shakespeare
“Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour.” William Shakespeare, Richard II
Jane Austen
“I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding—certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so...” Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Virginia Woolf
“Anyhow there was no bitterness in her; none of that sense of moral virtue which is so repulsive in good women. She enjoyed practically everything.” Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“What is the destiny of man, but to fill up the measure of his sufferings, and to drink his allotted cup of bitterness?” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther
J. R. R. Tolkien
“Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man’s heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned.” J. R. R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
