Beauty of Love
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart”. Helen Keller
Helen Keller was born in Alabama on June 27, 1880. Blind and deaf at the age of 19 months, she faced many obstacles throughout her life time. She grew into a highly intelligent and sensitive woman who wrote, spoke, and labored incessantly for the betterment of others. Even with the struggles she encountered, she still managed to go through school and even on to college and received many scholarly achievements. During her lifetime, Helen Keller received numerous awards of great distinction. She had a passion for life and everyone she knew. She had a great love for life, learning and helping others.
Having a sister with a life altering disability and seeing first hand the effects of it, I can relate to this quote. I believe this shows how much a person can overcome and how great one can feel, after they conquer the challenges that face them. Most might feel this is a quote about love. I feel it is about our perception on life and our inner strengths.

Wonderful intellectual quote that states how to find a deeper meaning in things beyond the superficial aspects.
Helen Keller was an awesome person, if she can "see" the beauty in this world I don't understand how we all can't.
