Famous quotes containing the words change, blindness and/or senses:

    We used to think that revolutions are the cause of change. Actually it is the other way around: change prepares the ground for revolution.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    cried as he died, fearing at last the spheres’
    Last sound, the world going out without a breath:
    Too proud to cry, too frail to check the tears,
    And caught between two nights, blindness and death.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Let me obtain forgiveness of thee, Samson,
    Afford me place to shew what recompence
    Towards thee I intend for what I have misdone,
    Misguided; only what remains past cure
    Bear not too sensibly, nor still insist
    To afflict thy self in vain: though sight be lost,
    Life yet hath many solaces, enjoy’d
    Where other senses want not their delights
    At home in leisure and domestic ease,
    John Milton (1608–1674)
