“At dawn, after my death hours before,
The sunlight will spread at seven o’clock as usual
On these trees which I know.
Greenness will burst, dark green shadows yield
To the cruel-benign, indifferent sun.
Indifferent will stand the trees in my own garden,
Unweeping for me on the morning of my death.
Same as ever, roots athirst,
The trees will rest in breezeless dawn,
Blind and uncaring,
The trees that I knew,
That I tended.”
― Patricia Highsmith

“He'd been good- there was a part of Tamlin that was good-

― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“Ignorance is the choice not to know what you don’t want to know, assuming that the absence of knowing causes the absence of the existence of that which you don’t want to know. Therefore, the belief in the ability of ignorance to achieve its goal is likely the greatest ignorance of all.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“I am not blind. I can sense things much better than people with eyesight. I believe in morals and I value my dignity. I'm the truth and I firmly believe in the aspects of honesty and loyalty.

It takes so many years of prudence, self-discipline, and hard work to earn respect and goodwill. I value my achievements more than any other materialistic immoral pleasure in the world.

I love my being. I love the people around me and I admire their presence in my life. I have preferred goodness over evil and I do believe in choosing people wisely.”
― Meghna Sodha

‘The most beautiful of them all,�� chuckled the eunuch.

“Hij las alles, van a tot z. De inkt was verbleekt. Met moeite onderscheidde hij de vage lijnen der letters. De blinde die hij had gezien op straat, kwam hem in gedachten. En hijzelf speelde met zijn ogen alsof ze tot in eeuwigheid geopend zouden blijven! In plaats van hun werktijd te beperken, breidde hij die lichtzinnigheid van maand tot maand uit. Ieder papier dat hij weglegde, kostte zijn ogen een hoeveelheid kijkkracht. Honden leven maar kort en honden lezen niet, daardoor zijn ze in staat blinden met hun ogen te helpen. Iemand die het licht van zijn ogen verspilt, is een waardige metgezel van het dier dat hem leidt.”
― Elias Canetti, Het martyrium

“Powerful forces have a vested interest in our believing the myth (and it is a myth) that we are following no one at all. Many of the cultural liturgies that indoctrinate us daily—�� Be true to yourself,�� “You do you,�� “Speak your truth”—can be traced back to sources with a nefarious agenda. If “they�� (whether multinational corporations, politicians, anti-democratic government agents, marketing departments, influencers who just want more followers, etc., etc.) can make us believe that each person is a blank slate, just following the inner compass of our “authentic self�� in an upward march to happiness, then they can keep us blind to all the ways we’ve been “discipled”—formed and manipulated—by their desires.”
