Sour Taste

Famous quotes containing the words sour and/or taste:

“Love that comes too late,
Like a remorseful pardon slowly carried,
To the great sender turns a sour offense,
Crying, “That’s good that’s gone.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“When love is broken,
then patched up
and cruelty is obvious,
like water boiled,
then cooled,
its taste goes flat.”
