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?

THE most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me
Helen Keller
