I have to wonder if Helen Keller would have all those quotes floating out there if it hadn't been for the fact that she beat such tremendous odds. What about those people who are constantly against tremendous odds and surmount them? Do those people get a chance to have their quotes on websites like mine? Is it simply because Helen Keller was a Westerner that we put so much emphasis on her accomplishment? I'm not attempting to downplay her victory at all because if that was me I would have sat in my dark world and done nothing. Good job Helen Keller, but what about the others?
