Christian Blood

Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or blood:

    He says a man may perhaps answer, that the necessity of things held by him, is not a stoical necessity, but a Christian necessity, &c. But this distinction I have not used, nor indeed have ever heard before, nor could I think any man could make stoical and Christian two kinds of necessity, though they may be two kinds of doctrine
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    Those times I mussed his curly black hair
    and touched his ten tar-fingers
    and swallowed down his whiskey breath.
    Red. Red. Father, you are blood red.
    Father,
    we are two birds on fire.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
