Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.
I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.
The most beautiful world is always entered through imagination.
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
You will succeed if you persevere; and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles.
