Sour Quotes

I’ve never had any delusions about being a leading man, and it’s not sour grapes to say that in the best films that I’ve always enjoyed, the cliched leading man type isn’t a part of the picture Picture Quote #1

An I must drink sour ale, I must, but never have I yielded to a man before, and that without would or mark upon my body. Nor, when I bethink me, will I yield now Picture Quote #1

Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It’s growing out of sour earth. And it’s strong because its hard struggle to live is making it strong. My children will be strong that way Picture Quote #1

My teeth became sour as I listened to his story. It was then that I understood why he was quiet all the time Picture Quote #1

He felt full of a dense and sour substance that was blocking his chest, and it wasn’t grief. After all those years, life now seemed like no more than a trap, a maze, not even a maze, just a room that was all walls, no door Picture Quote #1

It’s a stark thought that when we die most of us will leave behind uneaten biscuits, unused coffee, half toilet rolls, half cartons of milk in the fridge to go sour; that everyday functional things will outlive us and prove that we weren’t ready to go; that we weren’t smart or knowing or heroic; that we were just animals whose animal bodies stopped working without any sort of schedule or any consent from us Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I think that love is one big fairy tale. I wonder if people who say they are in love, if – really – they’ve just talked themselves into it. They want it so badly, they kind of make it happen. They fake it until they start believing their own story. Maybe that’s just sour grapes or something. Maybe because it doesn’t happen to me, I don’t want to think it happens to anyone else Picture Quote #1

The privileged classes can afford psychoanalysis and whiskey. Whereas all we get is sermons and sour wine. This is manifestly unfair. I protest, silently Picture Quote #1

Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent Picture Quote #1

In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labor; in this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power; and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sour look or two at choking. No, a merry life and a short one, shall be my motto Picture Quote #1

I’m the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. I’m funky like a monkey. Sky’s the limit and space is the place! Picture Quote #1

Halloween wraps fear in innocence, as though it were a lightly sour sweet. Let terror, then, be turned into a treat Picture Quote #1

Dennis has not behaved well and the fact he has taken it with bad grace shows we made the right decision. It smacks of sour grapes. He said he would be happy to continue playing as long as the new manager wanted him so in no way was he misled. He said he was assured the job was his, but that is simply not true Picture Quote #1

Is it a coincidence that stories from the private life became more popular just as the grand hope for public redemption through revolution was beginning to sour? I witnessed a similar shift in taste in my own time. In the 1960s, while a hopeful vision of a just society arose again, countless poems and plays concerning politics and public life were written, read, and performed. But after the hope diminished and public life seemed less and less trustworthy, this subject was less in style Picture Quote #1

I am like a tree in a forest. Birds come to the tree, they sit on its branches and eat its fruits. To the birds, the fruit may be sweet or sour or whatever. The birds say sweet or they say sour, but from the tree’s point of view, this is just the chattering of birds Picture Quote #1

My face is sour. Maybe that’s why they say I’m a dictator Picture Quote #1

Men whose sense of taste is destroyed by sickness, sometimes think honey sour. A diseased eye does not see many things which do exist, and notes many things which do not exist. The same thing frequently takes place with regard to the force of words, when the critic is inferior to the writer Picture Quote #1

There is this school of thought that says the usage of all mystical and occult powers is bad. I find that thought is usually propounded by people who don’t have any powers. It’s kind of a sour grapes attitude Picture Quote #1

I don’t want awards. I am not saying this like it’s a case of sour grapes. It isn’t. I have been to a couple of award functions, and I soon realised that it doesn’t give me the kick that it does to others Picture Quote #1

I am not so foolish as to murmur, if now, since I have drunk up my wine and beer, I have to put up with skimmed milk and sour Picture Quote #1

For this is love’s truth; she joins two in one being, makes sweet sour, strangers neighbors, and the lowly noble Picture Quote #1

Indeed, you become what you eat. In which case I am an onion. Layered, slightly sour and guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes Picture Quote #1

There is stuff I would have liked to have done. But there are no sour grapes Picture Quote #1

There was a wonderful atmosphere of gentle age, a smell of flowers and beeswax, sweet yet faintly sour and musty; a smell that makes you feel very tender towards the past Picture Quote #1

Some poems are for holidays only. They are polished and sweet, but it is the sweetness of sugar, and not such as toil gives to sour bread. The breath with which the poet utters his verse must be that by which he lives Picture Quote #1

A real fox calls sour not only those grapes that he cannot reach but also those that he has reached and taken away from others Picture Quote #1

The people we keep standing in the anteroom of our favor either start fermenting or turn sour Picture Quote #1

Age imprints more wrinkles a in the mind, than it does in the face, and souls are never, or very rarely seen, that in growing old do not smell sour and musty. Man moves all together, both towards his perfection and decay Picture Quote #1
