Night on Earth quotes

  • Paris Driver: I didn't mean to make you mad. I don't know any blind people. I'm curious, that's all.

    Blind Woman: I'm just like you. I drink, I eat, I taste things. I listen to music. I feel music. I do whatever I want. I even go to the movies.

    Paris Driver: The movies? And what do you see at the movies?

    Blind Woman: Sometimes I feel the film.

  • Paris Driver: When you eat, you can't see the food. The carrots could be blue, for example. And with music, you can't see the musicians! You don't even know the shape of a guitar.

    Blind Woman: Yes I know the shape of a fucking guitar. I feel things I'm sure you never will.
