Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or ravens:
“I dont like your miserable lonely single front name. It is so limited, so meagre; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I dont think I shall ever like that Mr. Slope, said Mr. Harding.
Like him! roared the archdeacon, standing still for a moment to give more force to his voice; like him! All the ravens of the close cawed their assent.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
