Famous quotes containing the words sword, stained, royal and/or blood:
“He who the sword of heaven will bear
Should be as holy as severe;
Pattern in himself to know,
Grace to stand, and virtue go;
More nor less to others paying
Than by self-offenses weighing.
Shame to him whose cruel striking
Kills for faults of his own liking!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.”
