1 " The interior life is often stupid. Its egoism blinds it and deafens it; its imagination spins out ignorant tales, fascinated. It fancies that the western wind blows on the Self, and leaves fall at the feet of the Self for a reason, and people are watching. A mind risks real ignorance for the sometimes paltry prize of an imagination enriched. The trick of reason is to get the imagination to seize the actual world—if only from time to time. "
― Annie Dillard , An American Childhood
2 " Eyes and ears are not the problem... It is rage that blinds and deafens us. Or fear. Envy, mistrust. The world contracts, gets all out of joint when you are angry or afraid. "
― Jan-Philipp Sendker , The Art of Hearing Heartbeats (The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, #1)
3 " What do you do when the alienating silence deafens your 'bootless cries'? "
