1 " If love is blind, then maybe a blind person that loves has a greater understanding of it. "
― Criss Jami , Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile
2 " I want to stay," and then, more weakly, " Need some more sun." A fly from a batch of seaweed lands on a white, bony thigh. She doesn't slap at it. It doesn't go away." But there's no sun, dude." I tell her.I start to walk away. So what, I mutter under my breath. When she wants to come in, she will. Imagine a blind person dreaming. I head back up toward the house. Wonder if Griffin will stick around, if Mona made reservations for dinner, if Spin will call back. " I know what the word dead means," I whisper to myself as softly as I can because it sounds like an omen. "
3 " ..if you put people on a diet, they start thinking about food. Or if you make someone stop smoking, all they think about is cigarettes. It seems logical enough to me that if you tell a person he can't have sex, he's going to be obsessive about the subject. Then to give him the power to tell other people how to run their sex lives, well, that's just asking for trouble. In a way, it's like having a blind person teach Art History, isn't it? "
― Donna Leon , Quietly in Their Sleep (Commissario Brunetti, #6)
4 " Never was a blind person blinded by the light that overwhelms his skin but blinded by the darkness within "
5 " What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self. "
― Helen Keller
