Helen Adams Keller amerikai író, aktivista és előadó. Ő volt az első siket és vak diák, aki egyetemi diplomát szerzett. Szobra található a washingtoni Capitoliumban.

A The Miracle Worker című színmű drámai jeleneteiből ismert az, miképp törte át Keller tanára, Anne Sullivan, a csaknem teljes kommunikációs eszköz hiánya okozta elszigetelődést és hogyan virágzott ki a kislány, amikor megtanulta a kapcsolatteremtést.

Kevésbé ismert azonban Keller életének alakulása tanulmányai befejezése után. Termékeny író volt, sokat utazott, és hirdette háborúellenes nézeteit. Kiállt a női egyenjogúság, a munkásosztály jogai és a szocializmus mellett. Wikipedia

Helen Keller híres idézetei

„Sohasem veszíthetjük el, amiben egyszer örömünket leltük. Mindazok, akiket mélyen szeretünk, részünkké válnak.”

Helen Keller

„Egyetlen pesszimista sem fedezte fel a csillagok titkát, nem hajózott át egy feltérképezetlen földön, és nem nyitott új kaput az emberi szellemnek.”

Helen Keller Motivációs idézetek

„Az élet vagy merész kaland, vagy semmi.”

Helen Keller

„Egyedül csak keveset tehetünk; de együtt bármit megtehetünk.”

Helen Keller

„Amikor a boldogság egyik ajtaja bezárul, egy másik kinyílik; de gyakran olyan hosszú ideig nézünk a zárt ajtóra, hogy nem látjuk azt, amely épp kinyitódott a számunkra.”

Helen Keller idézetek

„Fordítsd az arcodat a nap felé, és minden árnyék mögéd kerül.”

Helen Keller

„Nézz szembe a hiányosságaiddal, és ismerd el őket, de ne hagyd, hogy uraljanak téged. Hagyd, hogy türelemre, kedvességre, belátásra tanítsanak.”

Helen Keller

„Ennek kétségtelenül az az oka, hogy a jellemet nem lehet nyugalomban és csendben fejleszteni. Csak a megpróbáltatások és szenvedések megtapasztalásán keresztül lehet a lelket megerősíteni, a látásmódot tisztázni, az ambíciót ösztönözni és a sikert elérni.”

Helen Keller

„Tartózkodj a napsütésben, és elkerülöd az árnyékot.”

Let Us Have Faith (1940)

“To what is good I open the doors of my being, and jealously shut them against what is bad. Such is the force of this beautiful and wilful conviction, it carries itself in the face of all opposition. I am never discouraged by absence of good. I never can be argued into hopelessness.”

Optimism (1903)

“I want to say to those who are trying to learn to speak and those who are teaching them: Be of good cheer. Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come to-morrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere, and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles — a delight in climbing rugged paths, which you would perhaps never know if you did not sometime slip backward — if the road was always smooth and pleasant. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost. Sometime, somewhere, somehow we shall find that which we seek. We shall speak, yes, and sing, too, as God intended we should speak and sing.”

Address to the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf (8 July 1896)

“[…] although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to coöperate with the good, that it may prevail. I try to increase the power God has given me to see the best in everything and every one, and make that Best a part of my life.”

Optimism (1903)

“Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they would be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, — if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing.”
