美国著名女作家海伦.凯勒著名传记等原文摘录

美国著名女作家海伦.凯勒著名传记等原文摘录 1.暗与寂 黑暗将使人更加珍惜光明,寂静将使人更加喜爱声音。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》2.精神信仰 因为在我生活的漫长黑夜里,我读过的书以及别人读给我听的书,已经变成一座伟大光明的灯塔,向我揭示出人类生活和人类精神的最深泉源。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》3.心灵之感 世界上最美丽的东西,看不见也摸不着,要靠心灵去感受。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》4.珍贵却无声 爱是摸不着的,但你却能感到她带来的甜蜜。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》 5.永远热爱万物 仅仅靠触觉就能感受到这么多的幸福,那么,如果能看见,我会发现多少更美好的东西啊!人生最大的灾难,不在于过去的创伤,而在于把未来放弃。不怀希望,不论什么事情都做不出来。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》 6.感觉的重要 我身上的所有原子都是振动仪。通过房屋到处感觉到的振动,我能猜出每天都在发生什么事情。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》 7.变的乐观 死亡只是从这个房间搬迁大那个房间,可是我可能跟别的人不太一样,因为我在那个新的房间就可以用眼睛看到东西了。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》 8.我们的“不一样” 我们分明是不一样,能看得见的人和看不见的人互相不一样。不是感觉不一样,而是使用感觉的方法不一样。只是为了找到超越感觉的智慧而展开的想象力和勇气不一样而已。 我努力求取知识,目的在于希望日后能使用,为社会贡献一点力量。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》 9.全力以赴 只要是真正有益于社会的事情,而又是我能做的,我都将全力以赴。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》 10.一直在前进 我的任务是练习,练习,不断地练习。失败和疲劳常常将我绊倒,但一想到再坚持一会儿就能让我所爱的人看到我的进步,我就有了勇气。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》 11.信心满怀 对于凌驾命运之上的人来说,信心就好似生命的主宰。——海伦凯勒《我生活的故事》12.眼眸 在能看见的第一天下午,我将到森林里进行一次远足,让我的眼睛陶醉在自然界的美丽之中,在几小时内,拼命吸取那经常展现在正常视力人面前的光辉灿烂的广阔奇观。——海伦凯勒《假如给我三天光明》 13.有视觉的第二天,我要在黎明起身,去看黑夜变为白昼的动人奇迹。我将怀着敬畏之心,仰望壮丽的曙光全景,与此同时,太阳唤醒了沉睡的大地。——海伦凯勒《假如给我三天光明》 14.这三天中的最后一刻终于到来了,我要仔细地看他们每一个人,每一张脸,然后深深地把他们的模样刻在脑海里,储存在我的记忆中。或许这才是最有意义的,也是我最该干的一
