The World I Live in

“The infinite wonders of the universe are revealed to us in exact measure as we are capable of receiving them. The keenness of our vision depends not on how much we can see, but on how much we feel.””

— 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.””

— Helen Keller

“The mind is as big as the universe.””

— Helen Keller

“The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction. History is but a mode of imagining, of making us see civilizations that no longer appear upon the earth. Some of the most significant discoveries in modern science owe their origin to the imagination of men who had neither accurate knowledge nor exact instruments to demonstrate their beliefs. If astronomy had not kept always in advance of the telescope, no one would ever have thought a telescope worth making. What great invention has not existed in the inventor's mind long before he gave it tangible shape?””

“I think I have shown in my daily life that my feet are on the earth while the tips of my thoughts touch the stars.””

“Out of the uncharted, unthinkable dark we came, And in a little time we shall return again Into the vast, unanswering dark.””

— Helen Keller

“It were better far to sail forever in the night of blindness, with sense and feeling and mind, than to be thus content with the mere act of seeing. They have the sunset, the morning skies, the purple of distant hills, yet their souls voyage through this enchanted world with a barren stare.””

— Helen Keller

“وأكثر مايثير الحنق والغيظ أن تبدو ذاكرتك وقد نما لها جناحان لتطير بهما بعيدا فى ذات اللحظة التى تكون فيها فى أشد الحاجة اليها , فالحقائق التى تتعلمها وتستذكرها بالجهد والجهيد غالبا ماتقترف فى حقك جريمة الخيانة حينما تهرب منك فى الوقت الذى تكون فى حاجة ماسة اليها فقد تجد نفسك فى امتحان أمام السؤال التالى : اكتب مقالا مختصرا عن هس وانجازاتة .باللعجب من (هس ) هذا ؟ وماهى انجازاتة ؟””
