Quick Quotes: Saturday, April 25, 2009 from Avery Billings on Apr25 2009

Today’s Quote is:

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. - Helen Keller

The meaning of the quote is that in life in general, we are and never will be of complete and total safety. And if by some rare chance we do come to this we give up living, for life is nothing without chance. Helen Keller before her second birthday was both Blind and Deaf. She was then able to overcome this with the help of Annie Sullivan, who took her out of total isolation from the outside world and let her experience things threw touch. She said this quote in later years reflecting on her youth and how her life came to be.

Thank you for reading the second quote of the day be sure to read tomorrow’s “Quick Quotes”.

P.S. Anyone have a better name for my column please comment on anyone of the quotes.

    We are such strong yet fragile creatures, it is pointless to hide, because you are not safe from the chaos that is life. I choose to fully embrace the chaos that is life, for I would rather have any experience than none at all. A good quote.
