Thinking Kind Blind

More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Let us sit and mock the good housewife fortune from her wheel, that her gifts may henceforth be bestowed equally, i would we could do so for her benefits are mightily misplaced and the bountiful blind girl doth most mistake in her gifts to women. 'tis true for those that she makes fair she scarce makes honest and those that she makes honest she makes very ill-favouredly. nay, now thou goest from fortunes office to natures. fortune reigns in gifts of the world, not in the lineaments of nature.

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

Why did we become blind, i don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, do you want me to tell you what i think, yes, do, i don't think we did go blind, i think we are blind, blind but seeing, blind people who can see, but do not see.

Being blind is as simple as closing your eyes. the blind don't act any different than you or i. you never see a blind person going around saying, 'i'm blind.' so if you want to play blind just close your eyes and keep them closed and fare thee well.

She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.

Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness; but fortune is not so blind as men are. those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually on the side of the industrious, as the winds and waves are on the side of the best navigators.

I've no objection to the term 'graphic novel,' as long as what it is talking about is actually some sort of graphic work that could conceivably be described as a novel. my main objection to the term is that usually it means a collection of six issues of spider-man, or something that does not have the structure or any of the qualities of a novel, but is perhaps roughly the same size.

One would have to have completely forgotten the history of science so as to not remember that the desire to know nature has had the most constant and the happiest influence on the development of mathematics.

I make it a rule always to believe compliments implicitly for five minutes, and to simmer gently for twenty more.

When you get down to the nitty gritty, isn't it a pity that in this big city not one little bitty man will admit that he could have been a little wrong.
