"No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit."
Helen Adams Keller was born #OTD in 1880. She lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old. She then communicated primarily using home signs until the age of seven, when she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. via @Wikipedia
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoidance
of danger is not safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
-Helen Keller, 1902
