Famous quotes containing the words braille and/or codes:

    “she will not say how there
    must be more to living
    than this brief bright bridge
    of the raucous bed or even
    the slow braille touch of him
    like a heavy god grown light....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Thou hast a voice, great Mountain, to repeal
    Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
    By all, but which the wise, and great, and good
    Interpret, or make felt, or deeply feel.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
