“Entrance into the Old Ways begins with the pricking of a finger with a rose thorn, which produces a drop of blood. This opens the way into the Thorned Path, a system, which uses five rose thorns to symbolize the five arts of Witchcraft that one should master. These arts are Herbalist, Fortune-Teller, Spirit Medium, Mystic, and Magician. We call mastering these aspects 'the gathered thorns' --thus the Thorned Path.” WayShouldArtUseSpiritPathFiveBloodProduceMastersAspectRoseFortuneFingersMediumsMagicianWitchcraftMysticThornsEntrancesOld WaysFortune Teller Author:Raven Grimassi
“Radical Christians are not people who wear Christian t-shirts. Radical Christians are those who bear fruit of the Holy Spirit...A little boy, Andrew, a Muslim shot him five times through the stomach and left him on a sidewalk simply because he said, 'I am so afraid, but I can not deny Jesus Christ! Please don't kill me! But I will not deny Him!' He died in a pool of blood, and you talk about being a radical Christian because you wear a t-shirt!” PeopleLittlesSaidI CanChristianSpiritJesusLeftChristBoysFiveBloodBearsHolyPleaseShotsJesus ChristDiedFruitDenyRadicalShirtsHoly SpiritStomachPoolCan NotT ShirtKill MeLittle BoysAndrewSidewalkRadical Christian Author:Paul Washer
“Separate from the other unnamed billions who walk the earth, each of these little groups of three or five or twelve, brought together by the shuffle of chance, then welded by blood, sees in itself the whole of earth, or all that matters of it. What happens to one of the three or five or twelve will happen to them all. Whatever grief or triumph may touch any one will touch every one, as they are carried forward into the unknowable under the brilliant, terrifying sun which nourishes all.” MayLittlesMatterWholeHappensEarthTogetherThreeChanceWalksGriefFamilySunFiveGroupsBloodBrilliantBillionsTriumphTwelveShuffleGroups Of Three Book:Evergreen Source: Evergreen
“One night a guy hit his head on a welding gun. He went to his knees. He was bleeding like a pig, blood was oozing out. So I stopped the line for a second and ran over to help him. The foreman turned the line on again, he almost stepped on the guy. That's the first thing they always do. They didn't even call an ambulance. The guy walked to the medic department -- that's about half a mile -- he had about five stitches put in his head. The foreman didn't say anything. He just turned the line on. You're nothing to any of them.” FirstsHelpingNightGuyLinesHalfFiveBloodGunMilesKneesRanDepartmentPigsSay AnythingOne NightBleedingStitchesAmbulanceWeldingMedics Book:Working Source: Working
“I got in my car and followed [Marlon Brando] down to Chinatown, and got about twelve shots. Brando called me over and said, What else do you want that you don't have already? And I said, I'd like a picture without the sunglasses. He said no and punched me right in the jaw, It was so fast I didn't see it coming. Blood was gushing out of my mouth. I drove to Bellevue.

“You try to do as much as you can on set because practical looks cool and practical looks great. Until you get to a point where the reality is you look at it - and I went through this in my last movie which was a war film, which my brother fought in Iraq and I did a ton of research and as much as I could made it documentary-like - and then at some point on set, the reality is somebody says to you, "You know, you can use a real squib and you can have three hours of clean up and you can lose five shots or we can do that blood explosion in post and you can get those five extra shots."” KnowsTryingLooksMadeWarRealUseRealityLastsFilmThreeCan DoHoursLosesFiveBloodBrotherResearchShotsCleanIraqPracticalsMade ItPostsMy BrotherExtrasDocumentariesExplosions Author:Kimberly Peirce
“I think after a big European game you're looking at four or five days. For two days afterwards I don't really do anything. I do a recovery the next day, which is bike work, a light stretch, some yoga and an ice bath after that. Then the second day I would just do the bike again for 20 minutes and then do some strides, which is box to box, just eight of them, just to get the legs going and the blood going again.” ThinkingTwoBigsLightNextGamesFiveFourBloodMinutesYogaBoxesLegsEightRecoveryIceNext DayBikeBathsTwo DaysStride Author:Ryan Giggs

“I remember hearing myself start to whimper, a five-year-old, crouched by the side of the road, staring into my father's eyes, whimpering because it was so dark and there was no one coming to help, whimpering because my mother was back in the crushed car, not moving, and my father was lying here in the dirt, not answering me, not holding me, not comforting me, not helping my mother get out of the car, and there was blood, so much blood, and broken glass everywhere, and it was so dark and so cold and no one was coming to help.” YearsHelpingEyeRememberMovingLyingMotherFatherSidesDarkFiveBloodCarBrokenColdGlassesHearingStaringFive YearsDirtComfortingCrushedFive Year OldsBroken GlassLying Here Book:Bitten Source: Bitten
