One's life story cannot be to...

One's life story cannot be told with complete veracity. A true autobiography would have to be written in states of mind, emotions, heartbeats, smiles and tears; not in months and years, or physical events. Life is marked off on the soul by feelings, not by dates.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Optimism, then, is a fact wit...

Optimism, then, is a fact within my own heart. But as I look out upon life, my heart meets no contradiction. The outward world justifies my inward universe of good.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

A child must feel the flush o...

A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Rebuffed, but always persever...

Rebuffed, but always persevering; self-reproached, but ever regaining faith; undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I am a child of my generation...

I am a child of my generation, and I rejoice that I live in such splendidly disturbing times.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Cut off as I am, it is inevit...

Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real flesh and I myself am not a dream.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Every child has a right to be...

Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The best Christmas gift of al...

The best Christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another.
Jesus is the reason for the season!
From a little spark may burst a mighty flame.
The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Many of us delude ourselves with the thought that if we could stand in the lot of our more fortunate neighbor, we could live better, happier and more useful lives. ... It is my experience that unless we can succeed in our present position, we could not succeed in any other.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

There is in the blind as in t...

There is in the blind as in the seeing an Absolute which gives truth to what we know to be true, order to what is orderly, beauty to the beautiful, touchableness to what is tangible.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Smell is a fallen angel. ...

Smell is a fallen angel.

Joy is a spiritual element that gives vicissitudes unity and significance.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

We still have it in our power...

We still have it in our power to rise above the fears, imagined and real, and to shoulder the great burdens which destiny has placed upon us, not for our country alone, but for the benefit of all the world. That is the only destiny worthy of America.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The continued lynchings and other crimes against negroes, whether in New England or the South, and unspeakable political exponents of white supremacy, according to all recorded history, augur ill for America's future.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The hands of those I meet are...

The hands of those I meet are dumbly eloquent to me. The touch of some hands is an impertinence. I have met people so empty of joy, that when I clasped their frosty finger-tips, it seemed as if I were shaking hands with a northeast storm.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Personally I do not believe i...

Personally I do not believe in a national agency devoted only to the negro blind because in spirit and principle I am against all segregation, and the blind already have difficulties enough without being cramped and harassed by social barriers.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

We differ, blind and seeing, ...

We differ, blind and seeing, one from another, not in our senses, but in the use we make of them, in the imagination and courage with which we seek wisdom beyond all senses.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I, who have never heard a sou...

I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

What could be worse than being born without sight? Being born with sight and no vision.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The heresy of one age becomes...

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next. Mere tolerance has given place to a sentiment of brotherhood between sincere men of all denominations.
