Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

I have made my limitations tools of learning and true joy.

So long as I confine my activities to social service and the blind, they compliment me extravagantly, calling me 'arch priestess of the sightless,' 'wonder woman,' and a 'modern miracle.'
