Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

“When the blind lead the blind, no wonder they both fall into—matrimony.”
—George Farquhar (1678–1707)

“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind’s eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)

“No such thing as a man willing to be honest—that would be like a blind man willing to see.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
