I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God.

The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.

They took away what should have been my eyes, (But I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears).

I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings.
