Blindly Quotes (page 28)

We are too kind, too willing--too unwilling too--reaching out blindly with a grasping hand but not knowing how to ask for what we don't even know we want. Carol Shields
What is life when you come to think upon it, but a most excellent, accurately set, infinitely complicated machine for turning fat playful puppies into old mangy blind dogs, and proud war horses into skinny nags, and succulent young boys, to whom the world holds great delights and terrors, into old weak men, with running eyes, who drink ground rhino-horn? Isak Dinesen
And there came to him a feeling which he had often had before in many different places--that he himself was a part of all this, the great, blind, wistful soul of mankind, which had been here before he was born and would be here when he was dead--still groping, yearning, struggling upward, on and on--to something distant as the sun. And still would he be part of it all, through the eager lives of his children. Ernest Poole

Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted --we had ne'er been broken-hearted Robert Burns
Now suzanne takes you hand. And she leads you to the river. She is wearing rags and feathers. From salvation army counters. And the sun pours down like honey. On our lady of the harbour. And she shows you where to look. Among the garbage and the flowers. There are heroes in the seaweed. There are children in the morning. They are leaning out for love. And they will lean that way forever. While suzanne holds the mirror. And you want to travel with her. And you want to travel blind. And you... Leonard Cohen

And people with obsessions, reflected Bond, were blind to danger. Ian Fleming
I did not feel drawn to huxley. He was beautiful physically but again without vibrations or sensory antennae... and I had a painful impression of a psychic blindness. With all his science and knowledge, in the mystic world he blundered. Anais Nin
Frank Herbert quote: "She looked at patches of blackness. Black is a blind..."
She looked at patches of blackness. Black is a blind remembering, she thought. Frank Herbert
Passion does not blind. No. Passion is sanity, and the woman you love, she is the only person you will ever really understand. E. M. Forster
Love, love, love? all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness. Germaine Greer
William Shakespeare quote: "He that is strucken blind can not forget the precious treasure..."
He that is strucken blind can not forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost. William Shakespeare
Matthew Prior quote: "Be to her virtues very kind, Be to her faults a little blind."
Be to her virtues very kind, Be to her faults a little blind. Matthew Prior
The terms we use for what is considered supernatural are woefully inadequate. Beyond such terms as ghost, specter, poltergeist, angel, devil, or spirit, might there not be something more our purposeful blindness has prevented us from understanding? We accept the fact that there may be other worlds out in space, but might there not be other worlds here? Other worlds, in other dimensions, coexistent with this? If there are other worlds parallel to ours, are all the doors closed? Or does one,... Louis L'Amour
The great wheel of fire of ancient wisdom, silence and word engendering the myth of the origin, human action engendering the epic voyage toward the other; historical violence revealing the tragic flaw of the hero who must then return to the land of origin; myth of death and renewal and silence from which new words and images will arise, keeps on turning in spite of the blindness of purely lineal thought. Carlos Fuentes
