“Blood!...Blood!... That's a good thing! A ghost who bleeds is less dangerous!”

“It's a good thing most people bleed on the inside or this would be a gory, blood-smeared earth.”

“And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others. And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”

“I bleed myself to be your drink:Is not the blood of poets—ink?”

“Ghosts don't scare me. Flesh and blood people do.”
