Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or test:
“Religion! How it dominates man’s mind, how it humiliates and degrades his soul. God is everything, man is nothing, says religion. But out of that nothing God has created a kingdom so despotic, so tyrannical, so cruel, so terribly exacting that naught but gloom and tears and blood have ruled the world since gods began.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Poetry is important. No less than science, it seeks a hold upon reality, and the closeness of its approach is the test of its success.”
