Famous quotes containing the words bloody, local and/or feuds:

    “it was you untying the snarls and knots,
    the webs, all bloody and gluey;
    you with your twelve tongues and twelve wings
    beating, wresting, beating, beating
    your way out of childhood,
    that airless net that fastened you down.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.”
    —Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)

    “We are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed to forget the feuds of a thousand years.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
