My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.
—D.H. (David Herbert)
O, the blood more stirs
To rouse a lion than to start a hare!
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 10:16.
