Famous quotes containing the words braille and/or values:

    she will not say how there
    must be more to living
    than this brief bright bridge
    of the raucous bed or even
    the slow braille touch of him
    like a heavy god grown light....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    ... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before. And this loss is definite. For no matter how religious our world may turn again, or how much authentic faith still exists in it, or how deeply our moral values may be rooted in our religious systems, the fear of hell is no longer among the motives which would prevent or stimulate the actions of a majority.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
