Small Blind

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or blind:

“What strikes me as odd now is how much my father managed to get across to me without those heart-to-hearts which I’ve read about fathers and sons having in the study or in the rowboat or in the car.... Somehow I understood completely how he expected me to behave, in small matters as well as large, even though I can’t remember being given any lectures about it beyond the occasional, undramatic “You might as well be a mensch.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)

“No one thinks fortune so blind as those she has been least kind to.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
