Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or blood:
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Oh, God! that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap!”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
