Blood Supply

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or supply:

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    I think it’s a question which particularly arises over women writers: whether it’s better to have a happy life or a good supply of tragic plots.
    Wendy Cope (b. 1945)
