Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or bear:

the whole city in all its corruption,
all its shed blood the monsoon cannot wash away,
has become a temple,

““Well then, it’s Granny speaking: ‘I dunnow!
Mebbe I’m wrong to take it as I do.
There ain’t no names quite like the old ones, though,
Nor never will be to my way of thinking.
One mustn’t bear too hard on the newcomers,
But there’s a dite too many of them for comfort....’””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
