Blood Glucose Level

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or level:

“Refuse them!
If we too miss out, don’t create our lives,
invent or deeds, do them, dance
a tune with our own feet,
we shall thirst in Hades,
in the blood of our children.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
