About This Quote

There are many different types of blood, but there is one type that is common to all types. In this quote, the author talks about the essence of each type of blood. He says that each type has a unique odor and a distinctive flavor. The author describes the odor as being faint, but distinct.

That means it isn’t easily detectable by others. The taste is described as being that of conceit and modesty. That means that high self-esteem and a healthy self-image are common among people with the same blood type.

Courage and cowardice are also present in people with this type of blood. Charitable behavior is another characteristic of people who have this type of blood. Greed and faith are very similar to each other in this quote as well, so those with this type of blood tend to be generous and trusting people.

Finally, the smell of what we might have been and the smell of what we are is describing how some people with this type of blood always seem to be on the verge of greatness, but never actually reach it.
