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)

    But a blind man’s cane poking, however clumsily, into the inmost corners of the house.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

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