Famous quotes containing the words bloody and/or friday:

    They use the snaffle and the curb all right;
    But where’s the bloody horse?
    Roy Campbell (1902–1957)

    The dripping blood our only drink,
    The bloody flesh our only food:
    In spite of which we like to think
    That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—
    Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
