Small Blind

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or blind:

    Exaggeration is in the course of things. Nature sends no creature, no man into the world, without adding a small excess of his proper quality. Given the planet, it is still necessary to add the impulse; so, to every creature nature added a little violence of direction in its proper path, a shove to put it on its way; in every instance, a slight generosity, a drop too much.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A blind man. I can stare at him
    ashamed, shameless. Or does he know it?
    No, he is in a great solitude.
    O, strange joy,
    to gaze my fill at a stranger’s face.
    No, my thirst is greater than before.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
