I feel like I could be friends with this person

“Satan Overlooking Paradise” (1870) by Gustave Doré :: [Guillaume Gris]

“Satan, on the contrary, is thin, ascetic and a fanatical devotee of logic. He reads Machiavelli, Ignatius of Loyola, Marx and Hegel; he is cold and unmerciful to mankind, out of a kind of mathematical mercifulness. He is damned always to do that which is most repugnant to him: to become a slaughterer, in order to abolish slaughtering, to sacrifice lambs so that no more lambs may be slaughtered, to whip people with knouts so that they may learn not to let themselves be whipped, to strip himself of every scruple in the name of a higher scrupulousness, and to challenge the hatred of mankind because of his love for it--an abstract and geometric love.” ― Arthur Koestler, Darkness at Noon

“It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.” ― Helen Keller, The Story of My Life

Bir mutluluk kapısı kapanınca diğeri açılır; ama çoğu zaman kapalı kapıya o kadar uzun süre bakarız ki, bizim için açılan kapıyı görmeyiz.

Remember kids, next time someone says one of the following

“Hellen Keller was a fraud”

“Her caretakers are who did most of the talking”

That is propagandistic lies spread by the media to hide the very real fact Hellen Keller was an avid communist so much that her caretakers had to hide the things she was saying about communism because it was deemed too radical

Lo mejor y lo más hermoso de esta vida no puede verse ni tocarse; debe sentirse con el corazón.

Helen Keller

"Dünya, her zaman haksızlıklarla dolu olacaktır, ancak bu, insanların adaleti aramaktan vazgeçmemeleri gerektiği anlamına gelmez." - Hellen Keller

¿Por que contentarnos con vivir a rastras cuando sentimos el anhelo de volar?

Hellen Keller

1200- Siempre que alivies el dolor de otro ser humano tu vida no será en vano".

(Hellen Keller)

Las mejores y más bellas cosas en el mundo no pueden verse, ni siquiera tocarse; deben sentirse con el corazón.

Hellen Keller

"I am not a perfect being. . . . I have more faults than I know what to do with. I have a naughty temper. I am stubborn, impatient of hindrances and of stupidity. I have not in the truest sense a Christian spirit. I am naturally a fighter. I am lazy. I put off till tomorrow what I might better do today. I do not feel that I have been compensated for the two senses I lack. I have worked hard for all the senses I have got, and always I beg for more.

Hellen Keller, "A Message from the Hand, or from Darkness to Light (Another Beginning)," draft of speech, 1928
