Quotes by Helen Keller

Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing to illness before she was two. With her teacher Anne Sullivan she learned to read, write and speak, graduated from Radcliffe, and then spent sixty years as a working writer and campaigner — for disability rights, for women's suffrage, for labour, and as a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union. The radical politics are usually left out of the quotations, which tend to be the inspirational lines rather than the arguments.
