When one enters the portals of learning, one leaves the dearest pleasures–solitude, books and imagination–outside with the whispering pines.

Additional quotes by Helen Keller
Ruth is so loyal and gentle-hearted, we cannot help loving her, as she stands with the reapers amid the waving corn. Her beautiful, unselfish spirit shines out like a bright star in the night of a dark and cruel age. Love like Ruth's, love which can rise above conflicting creeds and deep-seated racial prejudices, is hard to find in all the world.
