“Iron helmets will not save/Even heroes from the grave/Good man's blood will drain away/While the wickid win the day.”

“Heroes may be less than heroic, while the common man saves the day.”

“Even as a child, even as my blood-past was drained from me, I understood that if I were strong enough to accept it, I was being offered a second history.”

“The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood”

“Sometimes a savage beauty lured me into the sun and I would start to love the danger a little. On these occasions I felt the reluctant love drained painfully from me as blood drains from a deep wound. The tigers lapped my love’s blood and remained enemies. The inhabitants of the day laughed at the gift I wanted to bring them, and I shut myself in my inner room to escape the betrayal of their arrogant mouths.”

“The Epistle of our being is written with letters full of blood drained from the love of God's Word.”
