Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, skepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    So may I, blind fortune leading me,
    Miss that which one unworthier may attain,
    And die with grieving.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, who follows blind instinct, strives to duplicate the reality of nature. The first one elevates art to its highest peak; the second one lowers it to its basest level.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
