Blind Quotes
-

Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.
Blaise Pascal

Faith is a function of the heart. It must be enforced by reason. The two are not antagonistic as some think. The more intense one's faith is, the more it whets one's reason. When faith becomes blind it dies.
Mahatma Gandhi
