Red Blood Cells

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. At twenty-five I should have worn a big red A on my chest; it would have stood for ambition, an ambition so brazen and burning that it would have reduced Hester Prynne’s transgression to pale pink.
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    I have a blood bolt
    and I have made it mine.
    With this man I take in hand
    his destiny and with this gun
    I take in hand the newspapers and
    with my heat I will take him.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    They are sworn enemies of lyric poetry.
    In prison they accompany the jailer,
    Enter cells to hear confessions.
    Their short-end comes down
    When you least expect it.
    Charles Simic (b. 1938)
