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.

Why Did We Become Blind, I Don't

Jose Saramago

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.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

And your doubt can become a good quality if you train it. it must become knowing, it must become criticism. ask it, whenever it wants to spoil something for you, why something is ugly, demand proofs from it, test it, and you will find it perhaps bewildered and embarrassed, perhaps also protesting. but don't give in, insist on arguments, and act in this way, attentive and persistent, every single time, and the day will come when, instead of being a destroyer, it will become one of your best workers-perhaps the most intelligent of all the ones that are building your life.

Find a way to say “yes” to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job. yes is how you find your spouse, and even your kids.

I love writing songs with people, which is about really taking risks, throwing yourself over the falls and really seeing what you're made of and seeing how it sticks. seeing how others react to it, and seeing also how it can become a melody and how it can really take off from your experience. it's a way of seeing life unfold on the page before me.

They are not asking you in there for them to learn, contrary to what they're saying. that's not what leftists do. they're not asking you to come in and teach them anything. they want to browbeat you. they want to find out why you're so stupid. they want to find out what you're missing. they want to find out why their brilliance is not reaching and connecting to you. they don't think there's anything wrong with them. what's wrong is their reader base, and they want to figure out what's wrong with you.

Similar Quotes

The politicized sponsors of this pseudoscientific nonsense should be ashamed to live, let alone die. if you want to take part in the “war” against cancer, and other terrible maladies, too, then join the battle against their lethal stupidity.

This is all about creating good jobs for middle-income americans, and it's a place where the president, frankly, has failed. his effort to put in place a series of liberal proposals he thought were historic kept his eye off the ball of getting the economy going again. it is the economy, and the american people aren't stupid. they want someone who can get this economy going again.

It's ginned up by the corporate plutocracy as a way of distracting the working-class people that it's screwing. we hamstring our own natural progressivism in this country, and that's really stupid.
