Famous quotes containing the words visual, blind and/or bidding:
“For women ... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can’t possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“Let us not concoct
healing potions for the dead,
nor invent
new colours
for blind eyes.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
