Visual Blind Bidding

Famous quotes containing the words visual, blind and/or bidding:

    “Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “The urge to kill, like the urge to beget,
    Is blind and sinister. Its craving is set
    Today on the flesh of a hare: tomorrow it can
    Howl the same way for the flesh of a man.”
    —Andrei Voznesensky (b. 1933)

    “A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
