Blood Chemistry

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or chemistry:

    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)

    Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
