Systolic Blood Pressure

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or pressure:

    The blood we give the dead to drink
    is deeds we do at the will of the dead spirits in us,
    not our own live will.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.”
    Ron Taffel (20th century)
