“Once I knew only darkness and stillness….my life was without past or future….but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.” — Helen Keller
Helen Keller is known around the world for her incredible personal achievements and contributions to society through her writing, speeches and advocacy.
As shown in the well-known play/film, "The Miracle Worker", Helen's key influence was her teacher and Intervenor, Annie Sullivan, who provided Helen with the means to communicate and to self expression.
