What is red ink?

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or ink:

    And must I wholly banish hence
    These red and golden juices,
    And pay my vows to Abstinence,
    That pallidest of Muses?
    Sir William Watson (1858–1935)

    Who does not see that I have taken a road along which I shall go, without stopping and without effort, as long as there is ink and paper in the world? I cannot keep a record of my life by my actions; fortune places them too low. I keep it by my thoughts.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
