Quotes OF WISDOM
HELEN ADAMS KELLER

“We differ, blind
and seeing, one
from another, not
in our senses, but in
the use we make of
them, in the
imagination and
courage with which
we seek wisdom
beyond the senses.”

A Chronicle A SYNOPSIS
EXPLORE. DISCOVER. DREAM.

In a dramatic struggle, Sullivan taught Keller the
word “water”; she helped her make the connection
between the object and the letters by taking Keller
out to the water pump, and placing Keller’s hand
under the spout. While Sullivan moved the lever to
the word w-a-t-e-r on Helen’s other hand. Keller
understood and repeated the word in Sullivan’s hand.
She then pounded the ground, demanding to know its
“letter name.” By nightfall, she learned 30 words.

HELEN ADAMS KELLER
EDUCATOR / JOURNALIST June 27, 1880

Keller was born with her senses of sight and hearing,
and started speaking when she was just 6 months old.
She started walking at the age of 1. In 1882, she fell ill
and was struck blind, deaf and mute. Keller went on
to college, graduating in 1904. In 1920, Keller helped
found the ACLU.

Early Life INSIGHT
THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

In 1882 Keller contracted
an illness—called “brain
fever” by the family
doctor—that produced a
high body temperature.
The true nature of the
illness remains a mystery
today, though some
experts believe it might
have been scarlet fever
or meningitis. Within a
few days after the fever
broke, Keller’s mother
noticed that her daughter
didn’t show any reaction
when the dinner bell was
rung, or when a hand
was waved in front of her
face. Keller had lost both
her sight and hearing.
She was just 18 months
old. Looking for answers
and inspiration, in 1886
Keller’s mother traveled
to the Perkins Institute
for the Blind in Boston,
Massachusetts. And so
began a 49-year relationship with Anne Sullivan.
