Additional quotes by Helen Keller

There is beauty in everything, even in silence and darkness.

"Love is something like the clouds that were in the sky before the sun came out, " she replied. Then in simpler words than these, which at the time I could not have understood, she explained; " You cannot touch the clouds, you know; but you feel the rain and know how glad the flowers and the thirsty earth are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either; but you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything. Without love, you would not be happy or want to play."
