Red Blood Cells

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

    The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    When daffodils begin to peer,
    With heigh, the doxy over the dale,
    Why then comes in the sweet o’the year,
    For the red blood reigns in the winter’s pale.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
