Blindness Quotes

Fanaticism comes from any form of chosen blindness accompanying the pursuit of a single dogma 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’ve always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I’m involved in. Science gives hope. If it were offered to me? Never say never. But I wouldn’t kill or steal to have my sight. My blindness doesn’t define my life Picture Quote #1

People who say they don’t see the acceleration of innovation is a wilful blindness. We are innovation at a wonderful speed for the basic things we think everyone should get Picture Quote #1

To cheapen the lives of any group of men, cheapens the lives of all men, even our own. This is a law of human psychology, or human nature. And it will not be repealed by our wishes, nor will it be merciful to our blindness Picture Quote #1

The rainforest has an intense beauty that at times seems almost suffocating. The jungle is one twig short of impenetrable, and the greenery seems to crowd in on you with a sensation that has been described as akin to snow blindness Picture Quote #1

I think we all suffer from acute blindness at times. Life is a constant journey of trying to open your eyes. I’m just beginning my journey, and my eyes aren’t fully open yet Picture Quote #1

When I was a child, I dreaded blindness. We used to ask: ‘Would we rather be blind or deaf?’ I said I’d rather be blind, even though I was scared of it. I couldn’t bear not being able to hear music or talk to people Picture Quote #1

I am unjust, but I can strive for justice. My life’s unkind, but I can vote for kindness. I, the unloving, say life should be lovely. I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness Picture Quote #1

Never take advice about never taking advice. That is an old vice of men - to dish it out without being able to take it - the blind leading the blind into more blindness Picture Quote #1

You wouldn’t know it, but I’m no good at recognising people; I have face blindness Picture Quote #1

You have no idea what it is like to watch two blind people fighting. Fighting has always been, more or less, a form of blindness Picture Quote #1

One of the most persistent misconceptions about blindness is that it is a curse from God for misdeeds perpetrated in a past life, which cloaks the blind person in spiritual darkness and makes him not just dangerous, but evil 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

Remain alert about your blindness, about your fear, about your ignorance, and just your alertness will dispel the whole darkness of blindness, of fear, of ignorance Picture Quote #1

Oh, Lord, why was she doomed to adore a man steeped in blindness and utter stupidity? Picture Quote #1

A really intelligent man makes an indifferent painter. For painting requires a certain blindness, a partial refusal to be aware of all the options Picture Quote #1

The reason con artists get away with what they get away with is, their victims are ashamed of their own blindness and their own gullibility, and they tend to just quietly go away 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 second one is, and this is a very old one, that blindness is such a terrible thing that it must be a curse from God for some evil that you committed Picture Quote #1

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings Picture Quote #1

The heart, this child of myself that resides in the flesh, this ultimate signature of the me, the start of my blindness and sleep, builds a death crÃƒÂ¨che Picture Quote #1

Blindness brought with it a million adjustments and losses and emotions. But, there really was this unshakeable sense, deep within me, that God had already prepared me for the darkness. And he did it through his Word 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

Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design Picture Quote #1

My father was not scientific, and I was left to struggle with a child’s blindness, added to a student’s thirst for knowledge Picture Quote #1

I ventured into fiction in 1988 with ‘What Love Sees,’ a biographical novel of a woman’s unwavering determination to lead a full life despite blindness Picture Quote #1

Putting on the spectacles of science in expectation of finding an answer to everything looked at signifies inner blindness Picture Quote #1

There’s no dearth of kindness in this world of ours; Only in our blindness we gather thorns for flowers Picture Quote #1
