1. “Nothing can be worse and more injurious than good-fortune that comes too late. It cannot give you pleasure in any way, and it deprives you of the right – the precious right – of complaining and cursing Providence. It’s a cruel and insulting trick – belated fortune.”
Ivan Turgenev
Fortune, Timing, Bitterness, Disappointment, Irony
3. “One need not possess joys in order to taste their bitterness! Even to view them from afar off begets loathing of them. Thou must be fatigued by the monotony of the same actions, the length of the days, the hideousness of the world, the stupidity of the sun?” Gustave Flaubert Bitterness, Joy, Monotony, Life, Weariness
12. “One must learn to forgive and not to hold a hostile, bitter attitude of mind, which offends those about us and prevents us from enjoying ourselves. One must recognize human shortcomings and adjust himself to them rather than to be constantly finding fault with them.” Nepolian Bonaparte Forgiveness, Bitterness, Attitude, Understanding, Adjustment
15. “To me, bitterness is the under-arm odor of wishful weakness. It is the graceless acknowledgment of defeat. I have no urge to make any concessions like that to the world as yet. I might be like that some day, but I doubt it. I am in the struggle with the sword in my hands, and I don’t intend to run until you run me. So why give off the smell of something dead under the house while I am still in there tussling with my sword in my hand?” Zora Neale Hurston Bitterness, Strength, Struggle, Defiance, Determination
18. “Apart from the moral deformity resulting from the sudden release of mental pressure, there were two other fundamental experiences which threatened to damage the character of the liberated prisoner: bitterness and disillusionment when he returned to his former life.” Viktor Frankl Bitterness, Disillusionment, Liberation, Moral Integrity, Psychological Impact
