Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or sisters:
“Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism ... is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politique.... Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“Just because we’re sisters under the skin doesn’t mean we’ve got much in common.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
