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.'

I believe war is the inevitable fruit of our economic system.

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.

World peace will never come until the passion of supremacy is combated.

When one doors closes, another door opens.

When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
