Quote

There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and I've always looked at life that way; I've always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that I've gone through.

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.

Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.

I just feel out of this world sometimes.

There's so many parts of my life that I've struggled with - that so many millions of others struggled with - about being an outsider, about feeling ugly, about having to overcome looking different to other people.

When I first went to places where people were suffering from war and persecution, I felt ashamed of my feelings of sadness. I could see more possibilities in my life.

I've rarely met a miserable, self-pitying blind person.

If you go through life, and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

My face always looks bored or depressed. It's not an accurate impression.
