Famous quotes containing the word blood:

    My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    there is more blood than
    sweet juice
    always more blood—mister
    death goes indoors
    exhausted
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    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)
