Quotes about Blood Stain

Bernard-Henri Levy

None the less, the President listened to Levy and credits him with the arguments that brought France to take the lead in supporting the rebellion.

Were thicker than itself with brother's blood

To wash it white as snow?

For wisdom is the property of the dead,
A something incompatible with life; and power,
Like everything that has the stain of blood,
A property of the living; but no stain
Can come upon the visage of the moon
When it has looked in glory from a cloud.

William Shakespeare

Out, damned spot! Out, I say!

John Lewis
