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)
“I would that I were an old beggar
Rolling a blind pearl eye,
For he cannot see my lady
Go gallivanting by.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
