!Blindness


The most subtle of our acts is to simulate blindness for snares that we know are set for us. We are never so easily deceived as when trying to deceive


François de la Rochefoucauld














Their blindness and arrogance are as solid as an iron mountain


Martin Luther



















A blind man knows he cannot see, and is glad to be led, though it be by a dog; but he that is blind in his understanding, which is the worst blindness of all, believes he sees as the best, and scorns a guide


Samuel Butler









If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God




Blaise Pascal









There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there


Thomas Hardy
