Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    Thou art blind to the danger of marrying a woman who feels and acts out the principle of equal rights.
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    For some years now, there has been proof that the devastating effects of the traumatization of children take their inevitable toll on society—a fact that we are still forbidden to recognize. This knowledge concerns every single one of us, and—if disseminated widely enough—should lead to fundamental changes in society; above all, to a halt in the blind escalation of violence.
    Alice Miller (20th century)

    O never give the heart outright,
    For they, for all smooth lips can say,
    Have given their hearts up to the play.
    And who could play it well enough
    If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
