Frida  - Quotes

 Diego Rivera:
There was this skinny kid with these eyebrows shouting up at me, "Diego, I want to show you my paintings!" But, of course, she made me come down to her, and I did, and I've never stopped looking. But I want to speak about Frida not as her husband, but as an artist. I admire her. Her work is acid and tender... hard as steel... and fine as a butterfly's wing. Loveable as a smile... cruel as... the bitterness of life. I don't believe... that ever before has a women put such agonized poetry on canvas.
Frida Kahlo:
[as she's brought into the gallery] Shut up, panzon. Who died?

Bert:
Teenage faghags become adult faghags. Straight boys are straight. You can't turn 'em just because you need to be loved.
Bert:
The foundation that's being laid here is not going to help you in the real world.
Bert:
It's going to lead to waitressing jobs and bitterness and the obsessive, pointless collecting of out-of-print original cast albums.
 

Jennifer Salaiz  - Quotes

 Was I bitter? Absolutely. Hurt? You bet your sweet ass I was hurt. Who doesn't feel a part of their heart break at rejection. You ask yourself every question you can think of, what, why, how come, and then your sadness turns to anger. That's my favorite part. It drives me, feeds me, and makes one hell of a story.

Persepolis  - Quotes

 Marjane's grandmother:
Listen. I don't like to preach, but here's some advice. You'll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it's because they're stupid. Don't react to their cruelty. There's nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself.

Graham Greene  - Quotes

 And there, in that phrase, the bitterness leaks again out of my pen. What a dull lifeless quality this bitterness is. If I could I would write with love, but if I could write with love I would be another man; I would never have lost love.

Anthony De Mello  - Quotes

 Any time you are with anyone or think of anyone you must say to yourself: I am dying and this person too is dying, attempting the while to experience the truth of the words you are saying. If every one of you agrees to practice this, bitterness will die out, harmony will arise.

Kazuo Ishiguro  - Quotes

 I do not think I responded immediately, for it took me a moment or two to fully digest these words of Miss Kenton. Moreover, as you might appreciate, their implications were such as to provoke a certain degree of sorrow within me. Indeed- why should I not admit it? - at that moment, my heart was breaking.

Stephen Crane  - Quotes

 In the desert

I saw a creature, naked, bestial,

Who, squatting upon the ground,

Held his heart in his hands,

And ate of it.

I said, 'Is it good, friend?'

It is bitter -- bitter,' he answered,

But I like it

Because it is bitter,

And because it is my heart.
