Famous quotes containing the words red, blood and/or cells:

    their hearts like eggs....”

    “If I’ve killed one man, I’ve killed two—
    The vampire who said he was you
    And drank my blood for a year,
    Seven years, if you want to know.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “They are sworn enemies of lyric poetry.
    In prison they accompany the jailer,
    Enter cells to hear confessions.
    Their short-end comes down
    When you least expect it.”
