Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    It is the custom of the Roman Church which I unworthily serve with the help of God, to tolerate some things, to turn a blind eye to some, following the spirit of discretion rather than the rigid letter of the law.
    Pope Gregory VII (c. 1020–1085)

    So, blind to Someone
    I must be.
    Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)

    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)
