Quotes
“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.”
Address to the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Dea “If the light were not in your eyes, dear Mr. Brooks, you would understand better how happy your little Helen was when her teacher explained to her that the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor even touched but just felt in the heart.”
Letter to Rev. Phillips Brooks 8 June 1891 “Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourse of my book friends.”
The Story of My Life, Chapter 21 “Some people do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions; and conclusions are not always pleasant. They are a thorn in the spirit.”
Helen Keller: Her Socialist Years 1967 “It all comes to this: the simplest way to be happy is to do good.”
