Hi denice58! Welcome to Quoteland! It's so nice to see the QL community growing everyday! I believe it was Helen Keller who said "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." This was not your original request, but it is very much like it. Don't worry, you'll get used finding everything in no time

Yep, it definitely goes to Keller, but I had trouble finding any kind of source for it.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is a quote from a letter Helen Keller wrote in 1891, when she was eleven years old, in which she is seeking funds to educate a little boy who was also deaf and blind. In her appeal she wrote:
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor even touched, but just felt in the heart."
- Helen Keller, 1891

After, Helen graduated from college, she wrote books and traveled around the world to help other people who were mute, deaf, or blind. She visited soldiers who were wounded in World War II. She tried to help other people understand what it was like to be deaf, mute or blind. Helen died in 1968. She believed that, "The best and most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."

With optimism and inspiration, Helen Keller became a living miracle, graduating cum laude from Radcliffe College in 1904, inspiring the world with her writing. "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."
