From Helen Keller’s autobiography, The Story of My Life:
Thus I came up out of Egypt and stood before Sinai, and a power divine touched my spirit and gave it sight, so that I beheld many wonders. And from the sacred mountain I heard a voice which said, “Knowledge is love and light and vision.”
Great poetry, whether written in Greek or in English, needs no other interpreter than a responsive heart.
Once, when I was puzzled to know why there were so many religions, [Bishop Brooks] said, “There is one universal religion, Helen — the religion of love. Love your Heavenly Father with your whole heart and soul, love every child of God as much as you ever can, and remember that the possibilities of good are greater than the possibilities of evil; and you have the key to Heaven.”
