Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

“As if he were
a pot of dates
in a blind man’s hand,

they pilfer my husband
and they’re jealous of me!
The cobra’s hood
has come out of its tail.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“A living man is blind and drinks his drop.
What matter if the ditches are impure?
What matter if I live it all once more?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
