College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

When I recollect the treasure of friendship that has been bestowed upon me I withdraw all charges against life. If much has been denied me, much, very much has been given. So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart I shall say that life is good.

Image
There is much in the Bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end.

I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.
Helen Keller
Image
I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.
Helen Keller
Image
Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.
Helen Keller
Image
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.
Helen Keller
Image
Truly I have looked in the very heart of darkness and refused to yield to its paralyzing influence, but in spirit I am one of those who walk the morning.
Helen Keller
Image
Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it.
Helen Keller
Image
Some people are foolish enough to imagine that wealth and power and fame satisfy our hearts: but they never do, unless they are used to create and distribute happiness in the world.
Helen Keller
Image
I could never stay long enough on the shore the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.
