Famous quotes containing the words red, blood and/or cell:

    Now I am alone with the dead,
    flying off bridges,
    hurling myself like a beer can into the wastebasket.
    I am flying like a single red rose,
    leaving a jet stream
    of solitude....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    And no one knows what’s yet to come.
    For Patrick Pearse had said
    That in every generation
    Must Ireland’s blood be shed.
    From mountain to mountain ride the fierce horsemen.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A cell for prayer, a hall for joy,—
    They treated nature as they would.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
