Additional quotes by Helen Keller
But in this respect I do not think I am much worse off than the girls who take notes.

"For he will smile and give you, with unflinching courtesy,
prayers, trappings, letters, uniforms and orders, photographs, kindness, valor and advice,
And do it with such quiet grace and gentle meekness that you will know you have the whole of him mapped out, pinned down, easy to understand. And so you have it. All things but the heart.
The heart he kept hidden till the end, Hidden from the picklocks of biographers."
- Steven Vincent Benét
