More quotes by Helen Keller
Things must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.
Helen Keller
I have depended on books not only for pleasure and for the wisdom they bring to all who read, but also for that knowledge which comes to others through their eyes and their ears.
Helen Keller
All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. Facts are stubborn, and refusal to accept them does not avoid their inexorable effects-the tragic consequences are now upon us
Helen Keller
True teaching cannot be learned from text-books any more than a surgeon can acquire his skill by reading about surgery.
Helen Keller
Is love the sweetness of flowers?
Helen Keller
When one reads hurriedly and nervously, having in mind written tests and examinations, one's brain becomes encumbered with a lot of bric-a-brac for which there seems to be little use.
Helen Keller
I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present.
Helen Keller
It is better to have no sight than it is to have no vision.
Helen Keller
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun. There is always a bright side - even if only that it is not worse...and it can always be worse
Helen Keller
The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
Helen Keller
If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.
Helen Keller
The test of all beliefs is their practical effect in life. If it be true that optimism compels the world forward, and pessimism retards it, then it is dangerous to propagate a pessimistic philosophy.
Helen Keller
Alone we can do so little together we can do so much.
Helen Keller
Life is a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Helen Keller
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
Helen Keller
We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.
Helen Keller
To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
Helen Keller
