I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings.

— Helen Keller

I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.

— Helen Keller

I believe that life is given us so that we may grow in love and I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower.

I do not mean to object to a thorough knowledge of the famous works we read. I object only to the interminable comments and bewildering criticisms that teach but one thing: there are as many opinions as there are men.

I do not want the peace which passed understanding I want the understanding which Bridget peace.

— Helen Keller

I do not want the peace which passed understanding, I want the understanding which Bridget peace.

— Helen Keller

I do not want the peace which passed understanding, I want the understanding which Bridget peace.

If there were no life beyond this earth-life, some people I have known would gain immortality by the nobility of our memory of them. With every friend I love who has been taken into the brown bosom of the earth a part of me has been buried there; but their contribution of happiness, strength, and understanding to my being remains to sustain me in an altered world.

— Helen Keller

I have an unshakable belief that mankind’s higher nature is on the whole still dormant. The greatest souls reveal excellencies of mind and heart which their lesser fellows possess-hidden, it is true, but there all the same.
