Red Cross Societies

Famous quotes containing the words red, cross and/or societies:

    And out of her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar, briar, briar,
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar.
    Unknown. Lord Lovel (l. 38–40)

    He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 27:42.

    It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent “celibacy,” by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity “backward.”
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
