"I do not mean to object to..." - Quote by Helen Keller

“The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.”

“I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.”

“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”

“I think it impossible, utterly impossible, for any Englishman to live here [in America], and be happy.”

“And you tell me, friends, that there is no disputing taste and tasting? But all life is a dispute over taste and tasting!”

“I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding— certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost forever.”

“Let us, then, take our compass; we are something, and we are not everything. The nature of our existence hides from us the knowledge of first beginnings which are born of the nothing; and the littleness of our being conceals from us the sight of the infinite. Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.”

“The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.”

“The unselective knowledge drive resembles the indiscriminate sexual drive--signs of vulgarity!”
