Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 15:14.

    Referring to the Pharisees.

    For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects. I was so absorbed in him as to be surprised whenever I detected the routine of the natural world surviving still, or met persons going about their affairs indifferent.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, who follows blind instinct, strives to duplicate the reality of nature. The first one elevates art to its highest peak; the second one lowers it to its basest level.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
