Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    Gold light in blind love does not distinguish
    one surface from another, the savor
    is the same to its tongue, the fluted
    cylinder of a new ashcan a dazzling silver,
    the smooth flesh of screaming children a quietness, it is all
    a jubilance....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 15:14.

    Referring to the Pharisees.

    For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
