Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or group:
“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)
“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
