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

Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.

What you lose in blindness is the space around you, the place where you are, and without that you might not exist. You could be nowhere at all.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

One of the most persistent misconceptions about blindness is that it is a curse from God for misdeeds perpetrated in a past life, which cloaks the blind person in spiritual darkness and makes him not just dangerous, but evil.

When sighted people cover their eyes or find themselves in a dark place, this is something that's very terrifying for us. And so in general, we assume that this is what blindness means. But of course, it isn't. For people who were born blind or who go blind at a very young age, that's not at all what blindness means.

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

I've been blind in my mind since the age of three.

We always think, 'Well, for a person who's blind, it must be an amazing, joyful miracle if by some chance their sight is restored to them.' Now, this may be true for blind people who lost their vision at a later age. It's rarely true for people who were born blind or who go blind at a very young age.
