Image
I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present.
Helen Keller
Image
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourse of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.
Helen Keller
Image
Smell is a fallen angel.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
Helen Keller
Image
For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Image
Now I feel as if I should succeed in doing something in mathematics, although I cannot see why it is so very important. . . The knowledge doesn't make life any sweeter or happier, does it?
Helen Keller
Image
I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.
Helen Keller
Image
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller
Image
I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
Image
The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
Helen Keller
Image
Things must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Image
My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.
Helen Keller
Image
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought.
Helen Keller
Image
When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.
