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.

    “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)

    “I had a vision of them put together
    Not like a man, but like a chandelier.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Shakespeare’s fault is not the greatest into which a poet may fall. It merely indicates a deficiency of taste.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
