Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or ritual:
“The blood blooms clean
In you, ruby.
The pain
You wake to is not yours.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straightshooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
