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.

Rosemary Mahoney

What could be worse than being born without sight? Being born with sight and no vision.

Helen Keller

The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.

Helen Keller

We're born to shimmer, we're born to shine We're born to radiate We're born to live, we're born to love We're born to never hate.

Shawn Mullins

How great is the position of the man who is born of God, born of purity, born of faith, born of life, born of power!

It is a mistake, to think the same thing affects both sight and touch. If the same angle or square, which is the object of touch,be also the object of vision, what should hinder the blind man, at first sight, from knowing it?

George Berkeley

I was born wandering between two worlds, one dead, the other powerless to be born, and have made, in a curious way, the worst of both.

Aldous Huxley

One of the reasons I believe in jazz is that the oneness of man can come through the rhythm of your heart. It’s the same anyplace in the world, that heartbeat. It’s the first thing you hear when you’re born — or before you’re born — and it’s the last thing you hear.

Dave Brubeck

Everyone is so concerned now where all of the candidates are born. McCain was born on a military base in Panama. Hillary was born outside Chicago, and if you believe the media, Barack Obama was born in a manger.

Jay Leno

Actually, being blind is not so bad. If you're born this way, you never know anything else and you don't wonder about it. Though I'd hate to have lost my sight after being able to see.

Jose Feliciano

I wasn't born a first lady or a senator. I wasn't born a Democrat. I wasn't born a lawyer or an advocate for women's rights and human rights. I wasn't born a wife or a mother.

Hillary Clinton

Why are we born? We're born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we're born and we die? We're born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.
