Famous quotes containing the word blind:

the song rings in my head.”

“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)

“Let us not concoct
healing potions for the dead,
nor invent
new colours
for blind eyes.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
