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

    “It was almost two years ago, while awaiting the imminent birth of my second child, that I decided to start working part-time. This would have been unthinkable to me when I was younger.

    —Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    “Where a blood relation sobs, an intimate friend should choke up, a distant acquaintance should sigh, a stranger should merely fumble sympathetically with his handkerchief.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
