Daisy Ashford quote: "My life would be sour grapes and ashes without you"
My life would be sour grapes and ashes without you Daisy Ashford
From the Grapes of Wrath and a woman that would not be moved: "'On'y way you gonna get me to go is whup me.' She moved the jack handle gently again. 'An' I'll shame you, Pa. I won't take no whuppin', cryin' an' a-beggin'. I'll light into you. An' you ain't so sure you can whup me anyways. An' if ya do get me, I swear to God I'll wait till you got your back turned, or you're settin' down, an' I'll knock you belly-up with a bucket. I swear to Holy Jesus' sake I will. John Steinbeck
It was the look you get when facing a sudden and insurmountable danger: the errant truck, the shaky ladder, the crazy person who pins you to the linoleum and insists, with increasing urgency, that everything you know and love can be undone by a grape. David Sedaris
Mind, I congratulate you. You jumped me to sex, translated it to aesthetics, and ended with sour grapes. How dishonest can I be? And all because I don't want to go to work. I'll work my head off to avoid work. Come, mind. This time you don't get away with it - back to the desk. John Steinbeck
Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does- except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. Butonly if the grapes were good in the first place. Abigail Van Buren

It was the look you get when facing a sudden and insurmountable danger: the errant truck, the shakey ladder, the crazy person who pins you to the linoleum and insists, with increasing urgency, that everything you know and love can be undone by a grape. David Sedaris

and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage. John Steinbeck
(Talks about her childhood) I grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Reading, PA. It was the most magical fun childhood. We had grape arbours and we would make jam with my mom. My dad would go to work and he'd come home. He'd clean out stalls and fix split-row fences. Taylor Swift
Fay Weldon quote: "guilt to motherhood is like grapes to wine"
guilt to motherhood is like grapes to wine Fay Weldon
I verily believe all that is desirable on earth--wealth, reputation, love--will for ever to you be the ripe grapes on the high trellis: you'll look up at them; they will tantalize in you the lust of the eye; but they are out of reach: you have not the address to fetch a ladder, and you'll go away calling them sour. Charlotte Bronte
John Steinbeck quote: "How's that for the grapes?"
How's that for the grapes? John Steinbeck
He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands alsoloves, notices, sees? The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love? Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes. Paracelsus
Wallace Stevens quote: "I like Rhine wine, blue grapes, good cheese, endive and lots..."
