Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or blindness:
“Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-ordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized?... A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“They say love is blindness of heart; I say not to love is blindness.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
