" "

To what is good I open the doors of my being, and jealously shut them against what is bad. Such is the force of this beautiful and wilful conviction, it carries itself in the face of all opposition. I am never discouraged by absence of good. I never can be argued into hopelessness.

Additional quotes by Helen Keller

The only lightless dark is the night of ignorance and insensibility. 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 our senses.

Me parece que la mayor dificultad estriba en escribir con el estilo adecuado al grado de cultura de nuestra inteligencia y expresar nuestras ideas confusas, nuestros pensamientos mitad sentimientos que son los que reinan en nosotros, cuando todavía no somos, en cierto modo, sino un compuesto de tendencias instintivas. Escribir se parece mucho a intentar resolver un rompecabezas chino. Tenemos en la mente un dibujo que deseamos reproducir con palabras; pero las palabras no encajan en los huecos, o, si encajan, no concuerdan con el diseño. Pero seguimos intentándolo, porque sabemos que otros lo han logrado, y no estamos dispuestos a reconocer la derrota.
