“The sensation of seeing is not one that I have and not one that I worry about.”

Stevie Wonder

As quoted in Stevie Wonder (1978) by Constanze Elsner, and Jet Vol. 53, No. 22 (16 February 1978), p. 60
1970s
Context: Sometimes I think I would love to see … just to see the beauty of flowers and trees and birds and the earth and grass. … Being as I've never seen, I don't know what it's like to see. So in a sense I'm complete. Maybe I'd be incomplete if I did see. Maybe I'd see some things that I didn't want to see... the beauty of the earth compared to the destruction of man. You see, it's one thing when you are blind from birth, and you don't know what it's like to see, anyway, so it is just like seeing. The sensation of seeing is not one that I have and not one that I worry about.

Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand,
He's misstra know-it-all.”

Now the summer's gone and love cannot be found,
Where were you when I needed you last winter, my love?”

Though they do pretend,
They won't go when I go.”
