Blind Sighted Quotes

I always like to pretend two things: one, I’m sitting in the seat beside you watching the game together. I’ll say, ‘Wasn’t that a great shot? Boy, it sure was.’ The other thing I do is pretend I’m talking to people who are non-sighted. I try to create a word picture. I get more mail from blind people thanking me Picture Quote #1

When sighted people cover their eyes or find themselves in a dark place, this is something that’s very terrifying for us. And so in general, we assume that this is what blindness means. But of course, it isn’t. For people who were born blind or who go blind at a very young age, that’s not at all what blindness means Picture Quote #1

I meet blind and partially-sighted young readers all the time, and it’s a shock that so few books are available to them Picture Quote #1

One of the many misconceptions about the blind is that they have greater hearing, sense of smell and sense of touch than sighted people. This is not strictly true. Their blindness simply forces them to recognize gifts they always had but had heretofore largely ignored Picture Quote #1

In truth the most striking figure for the relation of the two is that of the strong blind man carrying the sighted lame man on his shoulders Picture Quote #1

An idealistic lover is a blind lover, and therefore a true lover; a pragmatic lover is a sighted lover, and therefore a false lover Picture Quote #1
