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)

    It hurts me to hear the tone in which the poor are condemned as “shiftless,” or “having a pauper spirit,” just as it would if a crowd mocked at a child for its weakness, or laughed at a lame man because he could not run, or a blind man because he stumbled.
    Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)

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