Raw Blood

Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or blood:

    —‘I wish I had feathers, a fine sweeping gown,
    And a delicate face, and could strut about Town!’—
    ‘My dear—a raw country girl, such as you be,
    Cannot quite expect that. You ain’t ruined,’ said she.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    I don’t like your miserable lonely single “front name.” It is so limited, so meagre; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
