Famous quotes containing the word blood:

    If we must die, O let us nobly die,
    So that our precious blood may not be shed
    In vain; then even the monsters we defy
    Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
    Claude McKay (1889–1948)

    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)

    Irishness is not primarily a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition of being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it.
    Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
