I was better off blind. People don't have these expectations of you you can't live up to. You're blind - fine - they deal with it.

At First Sight quotes
Page 2 of 2I've spent the last five years of my adult life with a man who has the emotional content of a soap dish. The only time I saw him cry was doing our tax return three years ago. I need more than that, Betsy. For once in a long, long time I feel like I can breathe again. Just the way he touches me I know I found someone I can connect with.
Just for a second I felt like I could see you - all of you.
Limbo is like New Jersey. You can see all the good stuff, you just have to get there.
Listening - the rain - it brings out the contours of everything, gives life to a room I can't see. You hear it?...on the roof dripping down the walls on every side. On the right, on the drainpipe, it's drumming with a deeper, steadier sound - - like a timpani - echoing across the room - tells me the room is large - open. You feel it - in your chest? On the left, the rain says...a fire escape, with its own rhythm - ping - ping. Then listen - there...

Some seeing eye dog, more like sleeping eye dog.
The world is invisible to me - with my touch it comes alive. But only one thing at a time. But when it's raining, I feel everything at once. Sometimes, I wish it could rain inside rain all around us.
This is just great - I don't believe this. What's that saying - stop the world I wanna get off.
Virgil - look - you have to learn to see - just like you learned to speak. Only this is not like learning a new language - it's like learning language for the first time. Perception - sight - life, is about experience - about reaching out and exploring the world for yourself. It's not enough to just see Virgil—we've got to look as well.
When there's something you've adapted to, accepted - you'd just want to change it without even thinking about it?
