Quotes About Blind

Because your brain uses information from the areas around the blind spot to make a reasonable guess about what the blind spot would see if only it weren't blind, and then your brain fills in the scene with this information.

Fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.
