Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    But the star-glistered salver of infinity,
    The circle, blind crucible of endless space,
    Is sluiced by motion,—subjugated never.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects. I was so absorbed in him as to be surprised whenever I detected the routine of the natural world surviving still, or met persons going about their affairs indifferent.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
