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)

    “His speech is a burning fire;
    With his lips he travaileth;
    In his heart is a blind desire,
    In his eyes foreknowledge of death:
    He weaves, and is clothed with derision;
    Sows, and he shall not reap;
    His life is a watch or a vision
    Between a sleep and a sleep.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

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