I learned that it is possible ...

I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

They took away what should hav...

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 569 quotes

The highest thinkers of the ag...

The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The hilltop hour would not be ...

The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I, who cannot see, find hundre...

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.... Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action which fills the world is taken for granted.... It is a great pity that, in the world of light, the gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Christmas Day is the festival ...

Christmas Day is the festival of optimism.

A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea

Helen Keller 569 quotes

If we spend the time we waste ...

If we spend the time we waste in sighing for the perfect golden fruit in fulfilling the conditions of its growth, happiness will come, must come. It is guaranteed in the very laws of the universe. If it involves some chastening and renunciation, well, the fruit will be all the sweeter for this touch of holiness.

Smells are the fallen angels of the senses.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The infinite wonders of the un...

The infinite wonders of the universe are revealed to us in exact measure as we are capable of receiving them. The keenness of our vision depends not on how much we can see, but on how much we feel.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

When one comes to think of it,...

When one comes to think of it, there are no such things as divine, immutable, or inalienable rights. Rights are things we get when we are strong enough to make good our claim on them.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The clatter of a changing worl...

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 569 quotes

Your success and happiness lie...

Your success and happiness lie in you.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The most beautiful world is al...

The most beautiful world is always entered through imagination.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I believe there are angels amo...

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 569 quotes

I am conscious of a soul-sense...

I am conscious of a soul-sense that lifts me above the narrow, cramping circumstances of my life. My physical limitations are forgotten- my world lies upward, the length and the breadth and the sweep of the heavens are mine!

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

In a word, literature is my Ut...

In a word, literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourse of my book-friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness. The things I have learned and the things I have been taught seem of ridiculously little importance compared with their 'large loves and heavenly charities.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I have depended on books not o...

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.
