Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.
    Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)

    A blind man. I can stare at him
    ashamed, shameless. Or does he know it?
    No, he is in a great solitude.
    O, strange joy,
    to gaze my fill at a stranger’s face.
    No, my thirst is greater than before.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    A dreamlike feebleness by which the blind race of man is hampered.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
