The Miracle Worker quotes

  • James Keller: Maybe you ought to put her away, Father.

    Kate Keller: What?

    James Keller: Some asylum. It's the kindest thing.

    Aunt Ev: Why, she's your sister, James!

    James Keller: Half-sister. Half mentally defective. She can't even keep herself clean. It's not pleasant to see her about all the time.

    Kate Keller: Do you dare complain about what you can see?

  • Aunt Ev: Why, this child has more sense than all these men Kellers, if there's ever any way to reach that mind of hers.
