Famous quotes containing the words white and/or blood:
“Everyone has left me

that good nurse.
She stays in my hand,
a mild white mouse.”

“Men hear gladly of the power of blood or race. Every body likes to know that his advantages cannot be attributed to air, soil, sea, or to local wealth, as mines and quarries, nor to laws and traditions, nor to fortune, but to superior brain, as it makes the praise more personal to him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
