Blind Quotes

To describe the agony of a marathon to someone who’s never run it is like trying to explain color to someone who was born blind Picture Quote #1

Natural law has decreed it so. Isn’t death as much a part of the flow as life? Why fight it? Because maybe the flow splashes into a bottomless pit past that blind turn Picture Quote #1

For all of my life I’d been extremely healthy. I’d never had any health issues, so to go from being perfectly healthy to having this very rare disease was scary. In a lot of people it is very severe. Some people go blind, you can have neuro-lesions which affect your brain, so I was very nervous Picture Quote #1

It’s up to brave hearts, sir, to be patient when things are going badly, as well as being happy when they’re going well ... For I’ve heard that what they call fortune is a flighty woman who drinks too much, and, what’s more, she’s blind, so she can’t see what she’s doing, and she doesn’t know who she’s knocking over or who she’s raising up Picture Quote #1

At the beginning of a novel, a writer needs confidence, but after that what’s required is persistence. These traits sound similar. They aren’t. Confidence is what politicians, seducers and currency speculators have, but persistence is a quality found in termites. It’s the blind drive to keep on working that persists after confidence breaks down Picture Quote #1

Why do we use flash at all? Because photography is not the same as eyesight. We can see in low-light situations where cameras, dependent upon a physical process to record visual information, are half blind Picture Quote #1

I have my golden retriever now, Pontiac. He’s a career-change guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind Picture Quote #1

I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society’s care Picture Quote #1

Too often when we’re buying or building a house we do not consider each room. We are carried away by one charming feature and are blind to details that will give us trouble later on Picture Quote #1

Lieutenant Governor Paterson - blind, black guy - gets sworn in. First thing he says is, ‘By the way, cheated on my wife. Let’s just get that out in the open right now.’ He didn’t need to admit that. He’s blind. Could have said it was an accident Picture Quote #1

I tried to emulate my favourite guitar players, the old bluesmen like Blind Willie McTell and Big Bill Broonzy. I used to sit by the record player and copy Chuck Berry and the Beatles. You can never copy someone completely, so you end up developing your own style Picture Quote #1

I do not have a fear of heights at all. I was the kid who would see how high I could get in the trees. I was always climbing something. But I wasn’t allowed to look down; I had to step off completely blind and backwards Picture Quote #1

Don’t be color blind, be color brave. Embrace diversity as a competitive advantage Picture Quote #1

If you don’t Understand the color of Darkness and Loneliness Then you must be Blind Picture Quote #1

Jesus Christ, why don’t you come save my life. Open my eyes and blind me with your light and your lies Picture Quote #1

Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions Picture Quote #1

When I was 13 or 14, my parents had a bit of a windfall so bought a lovely new kitchen, but I burnt it down. I was making cheese on toast when flames escaped from the grill. My father stopped the fire with blind panic and excessive water. I was forgiven, but it put me off cooking for years Picture Quote #1

My parents were big music fans, and my dad plays music, so I grew up with Madonna, Frank Zappa, the Beatles, Alice In Chains... it was all over the place. I had a Third Eye Blind record, but I also had Korn, Courtney Love, and Shania Twain Picture Quote #1

American special relationships with Israel and Saudi Arabia blind us to their dreadful encroachments on human rights, as well as confer impunity on their leaders with respect to accountability for crimes against humanity Picture Quote #1

To me, the remarkable thing is it’s pretty much unanimous the way blind people have been perceived in all cultures and for millennia. The first is, if they can’t see, they must be stupid.

The eyes of some of the fans at Davis Cup matches scare me. There’s no light in them. Fixed emotions. Blind worship. Horror. It makes me think of what happened to us long ago Picture Quote #1

Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body’s final fall, nor the barrels of death’s rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world Picture Quote #1

Here is the cosmological proof of the existence of God - the design argument of Paley - updated and refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one.... Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the teleological or design argument Picture Quote #1

We’re blind to our blindness. We have very little idea of how little we know. We’re not designed to know how little we know Picture Quote #1
