Sour Quotations
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course. William Shakespeare Every white will have its black, And every sweet its sour. Thomas Percy You've got to take the bitter with the sour. Samuel Goldwyn I've been on jobs where there's that one actor who is just a miserable, miserable no-good, dirty bastard, and it just turns the whole process sour. Joe Pantoliano I was probably never going to get to do the kind of things dramatically that I really wanted to do, so I returned to theater from time to time, and to write, and produce. It's by no means sour grapes. Larry Hovis |
