Famous quotes containing the word blindness:
“They say love is blindness of heart; I say not to love is blindness.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“... that great blindness which we are all under in respect to our own selves.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“It is unheard-of, uncivilized barbarism that any woman should still be forced to bear such monstrous torture. It should be remedied. It should be stopped. It is simply absurd that, with our modern science, painless childbirth does not exist as a matter of course.... I tremble with indignation when I think of ... the unspeakable egotism and blindness of men of science who permit such atrocities when they can be remedied.”
—Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)
