More from Helen Keller
- Letter to Rev. Phillips Brooks (8 June 1891)
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
The world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming it.
Optimism (1903)
People/Helen Keller/Quote

It is a mistake always to contemplate the good and ignore the evil, because by making people neglectful it lets in disaster. There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
The world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming it.
