Gain Babenberg Blood

Famous quotes containing the words gain and/or blood:

“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

“They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.”
