Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller
They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.
Helen Keller
Instead of being satisfied to alleviate suffering, we shall labor hard and continually to prevent it.
Helen Keller
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
Helen Keller
