Gain Babenberg Blood

Famous quotes containing the words gain and/or blood:

    When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?

    No sleep. The sultriness pervades the air
    And binds the brain—a dense oppression, such
    As tawny tigers feel in matted shades,
    Vexing their blood and making apt for ravage.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
