Blood Bear

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or bear:

    “In my blood there is no Jewish blood.
    In their callous rage, all antisemites must hate me now as a Jew.
    For that reason I am a true Russian.”
    —Yevgeny Yevtushenko (b. 1933)

    “The last faint spark
    In the self-murdered heart, the wounds of the sad uncomprehending
    dark,
    The wounds of the baited bear,—
    The blind and weeping bear whom the keepers beat
    On his helpless flesh . . . the tears of the hunted hare.”
    —Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
