Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or supply:

    “I was born upon thy bank, river,
    My blood flows in thy stream,
    And thou meanderest forever
    At the bottom of my dream.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Dear to us are those who love us ... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life; they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
