The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched but are felt in the heart. -Hellen Keller
世界で最も素晴らしく美しいものは見ることも触ることもできない。しかし、心で感じることができる。
-ヘレンケラー(アメリカ合衆国の教育家、社会福祉活動家、著作家)
Helen Keller was famous for being born deaf and blind but still learning how to communicate with others. She became an amazing advocate for people with disabilities and a lifelong learner. This quote means that the best things in life aren’t material but immaterial, like emotions, love, and connection. A similar phrase is “The best things in life aren’t things.”
