Famous quotes containing the words eyesight and/or blind:

    “Snow sparkles like eyesight falling to earth,

    Like seeing fallen brightly away.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “It hurts me to hear the tone in which the poor are condemned as “shiftless,” or “having a pauper spirit,” just as it would if a crowd mocked at a child for its weakness, or laughed at a lame man because he could not run, or a blind man because he stumbled.”
    —Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
