Here’s a great obituary for Helen Keller, with excerpt:

Despite the celebrity that accrued to her and the air of awesomeness with which she was
surrounded in her later years, Miss Keller retained an unaffected personality and a
certainty that her optimistic attitude toward life was justified.

“I believe that all through these dark and silent years, God has been using my life for a
purpose I do not know,” she said recently, adding:

“But one day I shall understand and then I will be satisfied.”
