Famous quotes containing the word grapes:

    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.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Let its grapes the morn salute
    From a nocturnal root,
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
    Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood

    Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
    Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
    Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
    Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
