Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    Who is at my window, who, who?
    It’s the blind cuckoo, mulling
    the old song over.
    The old song is about fear, about
    tomorrow and next year.
    Timor mortis conturbat me, he sings....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Are we no greater than the noise we make
    Along one blind atomic pilgrimage
    Whereon by crass chance billeted we go
    Because our brains and bones and cartilage
    Will have it so?
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
