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)

    “A blind man will not thank you for a looking-glass.”
    —Eighteenth-century English proverb. Collected in Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)

    “Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
    Ease me with death by bidding me got too.
    Oh, if it have, let my word work on me,
    And a just office on a murderer do.
    Except it be too late to kill me so,
    Being double dead: going, and bidding go.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
