"When we come to see that it was no mere man who suffered on Calvary but the Lord of Glory, then we shall be willing to say that one drop of the precious blood of Jesus is of more value, for our own salvation and for the hope of society, than all the rivers of blood that have flowed upon the battlefields of history."

"Offer to the strongest -- if the darkest angel of God's host -- water, when he has asked blood -- will he take it? Not a whole pale sea for one red drop." -from Villette by Charlotte Brönte
