Blood God

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or god:

    “Fit gravefellows you are for Lincoln, Brown
    And Douglass and Toussaint. . . all whose rapt eyes
    Fashioned a new world in this wilderness.
    American earth is richer for your bones;
    Our hearts beat prouder for the blood we inherit.”
    —Dudley Randall (b. 1914)

    “I laugh at the lore and pride of man
    At the sophist schools, and the learned clan;
    For what are they all, in their high conceit,
    When man in the bush with God may meet?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
