bitterness

«I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.»
Author: Edith Cavell | About: Patriotism | Keywords: bitterness
«From the heart of the fountain of delight rises a jet of bitterness that tortures us among the very flowers.»

«For a mother the project of raising a boy is the most fulfilling project she can hope for. She can watch him, as a child, play the games she was not allowed to play; she can invest in him her ideas, aspirations, ambitions, and values -- or whatever she has left of them; she can watch her son, who came from her flesh and whose life was sustained by her work and devotion, embody her in the world. So while the project of raising a boy is fraught with ambivalence and leads inevitably to bitterness, it is the only project that allows a woman to be -- to be through her son, to live through her son.»
«It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit»
«Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice»
«It is better to live in peace than in bitterness and strife»
«Growth in wisdom may be exactly measured by decrease in bitterness»
«I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.»
«If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in the struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.»
