Quotes about Blindness

He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn't need a word for that any more than for pride or fear....One day I was talking to Cora. She prayed for me because she believed I was blind to sin, wanting me to kneel and pray too, because people to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.

When I could not see the light with my blind eyes, I blamed not my eyes, but the sun.

God, have mercy on me in the blindness in which I hope I am seeking You!
