Famous quotes containing the word blood:

    Fit gravefellows you are for Lincoln, Brown
    And Douglass and Toussaint. . . all whose rapt eyes
    Fashioned a new world in this wilderness.
    American earth is richer for your bones;
    Our hearts beat prouder for the blood we inherit.
    Dudley Randall (b. 1914)

    The blood of Jesus Christ can cover a multitude of sins, it seems to me.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    the whole city in all its corruption,
    all its shed blood the monsoon cannot wash away,
    has become a temple,
    fragile, insolent, absolute.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
