Your success and happiness lie in you. - Helen Keller

"Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content"

"We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world"

"La vie est une aventure audacieuse ou alors elle n'est rien."

"Literature is my Utopia"

"Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye."
