Bloody Battle

Famous quotes containing the words bloody and/or battle:

“Any defeat, however trivial, may be fatal to a savior of the plain people. They never admire a messiah with a bloody nose.”

“Much have I seen and known—cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honored of them all—
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
