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.

More quotes by Helen Keller
I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.
Helen Keller
So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
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
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
Helen Keller
Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Helen Keller
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.

Helen Keller
When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.
Helen Keller
Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within
Helen Keller
If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.
Helen Keller
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
Helen Keller
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
Helen Keller
Fear: the best way out is through.
Helen Keller
Science may have found a cure for most evils but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.
Helen Keller
A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
Helen Keller
The clatter of a changing world is not pleasant, and those who have enjoyed the comforts and protection of the old order may be shocked and unhappy when they behold the vigorous young builders of a new world sweeping away their time-honored antiquities.
Helen Keller
I don't want to live in a hand -me -down world of others' experiences. I want to write about me, my discoveries, my fears, my feelings, about me.
Helen Keller
I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.
Helen Keller
I believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to you and me in our darkest hours, to show us how to live, to teach us how to give, to guide us with a light of love.
Helen Keller
