It is certain that I cannot always distinguish my own thoughts from those I read, because what I read becomes the very substance and text of my mind.

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight; silence would teach them the joys of sound.

A person who is severely impaired never knows his hidden sources of strength until he is treated like a normal human being and encouraged to shape his own life.

What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!

Love? Why ... it is what everybody feels for everybody else.

A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.

Your success & happiness lies in you.
