Infected Blood

Famous quotes containing the words infected and/or blood:

    O my dear Candide! You knew Paquette, that pretty attendant of our august baroness; I tasted in her arms the delights of paradise, which produced these torments of hell by which you see me devoured; she was infected and may have died of it.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    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)
