Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    But he though blind of sight,
    Despis’d and thought extinguish’t quite,
    With inward eyes illuminated
    His fierie vertue rouz’d
    From under ashes into sudden flame,
    And as an ev’ning Dragon came,
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    So may I, blind fortune leading me,
    Miss that which one unworthier may attain,
    And die with grieving.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
