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)

    “The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people’s reproductive behaviour, and that we may have to do it whether they like it or not, derives from the assumption that the world belongs to us, who have so expertly depleted its resources, rather than to them, who have not.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
