Jose Saramago
Why did we become blind, I don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, Do you want me to tell you what I think, Yes, do, I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
blindness is a private matter between a person and the eyes with which he or she was born.
Jose Saramago
