Blood is tough; it is more than just being the juice running through our veins.  

“From blood and pain come perfection,” quoted by Constance Longton from 'American Horror Story', shows how blood describes so much of our lives. Not only is the fluid running through our bodies, but the blood also depicts power, horror, strength, love, bonds, and so much more.

We see people defining their blood relations as being stronger, a worker thinning up his blood sweat with hard work, and a bond of tough love. Blood is something that makes people count on each other, is the thing people are afraid of, and sometimes is something they are proud of.

Here are the best blood quotes to get your heart pumping along with your minds. If you like these blood quotes, do not forget to check out our heart quotes and doctor quotes.
