how can people quote helen keller?

Many of my friends keep posting Helen Keller quotes on Twitter and I'm wondering how this is possible if she technically couldn't speak? I found online that she could actually speak but if she can't hear or see how could someone have taught her english?

She wrote. Someone did teach her English. She then taught herself quite a bit. Read a biography of her if you want to get the details about how a person who is both deaf and blind can learn to communicate.

Try reading her biography. She gave many speeches urging people to take better care of those with disabilities. Deaf and blind people can feel vibrations. Her teacher used very creative means at the time in order to teach her what was THEN thought to be impossible.
