Blind Quotes
-
Half of us are blind, few of us feel, and we are all deaf.
William Osler
-
So-called real life has only once interfered with me, and it had been a far cry from what the words, lines, books had prepared me for. Fate had to do with blind seers, oracles, choruses announcing death, not with panting next to the refrigerator, fumbling with condoms, waiting in a Honda parked round the corner and surreptitious encounters in a Lisbon hotel. Only the written word exists, everything one must do oneself is without form, subject to contingency without rhyme or reason. It takes too long. And if it ends badly the metre isn't right, and there's no way to cross things out.
Cees Nooteboom
-
Some days my thoughts are just cocoons -- all cold, and dull, and blind, They hang from dripping branches in the grey woods of my mind; And other days they drift and shine -- such free and flying things! I find the gold-dust in my hair, left by their brushing wings.
Karle Wilson Baker
-
What I find most appalling is the Senate calls it a qualified blind trust when it's not blind. Since the Senate says it's OK, the Senate has made it a political question. It's up to the voter. But there's no doubt it's a conflict of interest.
Kathleen Clark
-
If it is natural for lightning to strike the earth, why doesn’t it strike each and every one of us? Why does it not blind us all?
Kalki Krishnamurthy
-
Thou best philosopher, who yet dost keep/ Thy heritage, thou eye among the blind.
William Wordsworth

For a nonviolent struggle, there is no age limit. The blind, the maimed and the bed-ridden may serve, and not only men but women also.
Mahatma Gandhi

Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.
Sophocles
-
Don't let ignorance blind you. Open your eyes, heart and your mind. And if you're feeling alone, know that the world can be a lonely place, but it would be lonelier without you in it.
Hayley Williams
Paramore
-
For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. If thought is life And strength and breath And the want Of thought is death Then am I A happy fly If I live Or if I die.
William Blake
-
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind... The understanding can intuit nothing, the senses can think nothing. Only through their union can knowledge arise.
Immanuel Kant
-
Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.
William Blake
-
Drown thyself? Drown cats and blind puppies.
William Shakespeare
-
So may I, blind fortune leading me,
Miss that which one unworthier may attain,
And die with grieving.
William Shakespeare
