Knowledge is love and light and vision.

I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.

So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.

Blindness is an unfortunate handicap but true vision does not require the eyes.

I have depended on books not only for pleasure and for the wisdom they bring to all who read, but also for that knowledge which comes to others through their eyes and their ears.

I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
