Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or supply:
“Religion! How it dominates man’s mind, how it humiliates and degrades his soul. God is everything, man is nothing, says religion. But out of that nothing God has created a kingdom so despotic, so tyrannical, so cruel, so terribly exacting that naught but gloom and tears and blood have ruled the world since gods began.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Friends and contemporaries should supply only the name and date, and leave it to posterity to write the epitaph.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
