Blood/history

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or history:

    What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
    This fallen star my milk sustains,

    Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
    And bids my hair stand up?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.
