Color Vision Deficiency

Famous quotes containing the words color, vision and/or deficiency:

    “‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
    Taught my benighted soul to understand
    That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
    Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
    Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
    “Their color is a diabolic die.”
    Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
    May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
    —Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)

    “Redeem
    The time. Redeem.
    The unread vision in the higher dream
    While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
