Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or blood:

    “And I said,
    “This holy concern for the truth—
    no one worries about it except liars.”
    And God was bored.
    He turned on his side
    like an opium eater
    and slept.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I confess my belief in the common man.... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
