    Kant said that sympathy is an abominable quality. Teacher Sullivan’s method of education is the best proof of this sentence. Only by getting rid of sympathy can one’s soul be touched. We are used to a world where there is meaning first and then language. How do we give meaning to language? Sullivan is great, she has created a purer language—no need to express, so it's closer to the original meaning—language.

The Miracle Worker quotes

  • Kate Keller: What are you saying to her?

    Annie Sullivan: Oh, I was just making conversation. Telling her it was a sewing card.

    Kate Keller: Does that mean that to her?

    Annie Sullivan: Oh, no, she won't know what spelling is till she knows what a word is.

    Kate Keller: The captain says it's like spelling to a fence post.

    Annie Sullivan: Does he now? It's how I watch you talk to your baby.

    Kate Keller: The baby?

    Annie Sullivan: Any baby. It's gibberish. Grown-up gibberish. Baby-talk gibberish. Do they understand one word of it to start? Somehow they begin to if they hear it. I'm letting Helen hear it.

    Kate Keller: Other children are not impaired.

    Annie Sullivan: Oh, there's nothing impaired in her head. It works like a mousetrap.

    Kate Keller: Then when will she learn?

    Annie Sullivan: Maybe after a million words.

  • Kate Keller: What happened?

    Annie Sullivan: She ate from her own plate. She ate with a spoon. Herself. And she folded her napkin.

    Kate Keller: Folded her napkin?

    Annie Sullivan: The room's a wreck, but her napkin is folded. I'll be in my room, Mrs. Keller.

    Viney, Keller Maid: Don't leave now, Miss Annie. Dinner'll be ready right away.

    Kate Keller: Folded her napkin. My Helen folded her napkin.
