Blood Omen

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or omen:

    A Spirit free, to choose for my own share,
    What sort of Flesh and Blood I pleas’d to wear,
    I’d be a Dog, a Monkey or a Bear,
    Or any thing, but that vain Animal,
    Who is so proud of being rational.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    Don’t pay any attention to Ah Ling. He has a mania for quoting Confucius. And Charlie Chan.
