Blind Dead

Famous quotes containing the words blind and/or dead:

    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)

    We never become really and genuinely our entire and honest selves until we are dead—and not then until we have been dead years and years. People ought to start dead and then they would be honest so much earlier.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
