I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present.
Helen Keller
Image
Joy is a spiritual element that gives vicissitudes unity and significance.
Helen Keller
Image
Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.
Helen Keller
Image
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
Image
The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Image
What can rulers, nobility and all the lords of the earth say to justify the horrible killing and maiming of twenty or thirty million valuable men who a short while ago ploughed, dug, wove, built, guided the traffic of the world, took their pleasure, loved their fellows, cherished their families, and feared naught?
Helen Keller
Image
Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Certainly it is one of our sweetest experiences that when we are touched by some noble affection or pure joy, we remember the dead most tenderly, and feel more powerfully drawn to them.
Helen Keller
Image
There is in the blind as in the seeing an Absolute which gives truth to what we know to be true, order to what is orderly, beauty to the beautiful, touchableness to what is tangible.
Helen Keller
Image
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller
Image
The danger of having the Constitution twisted and misconstrued to support vested interests and prejudices must be guarded against if American democracy is to maintain a progressive character.
Helen Keller
