"Braille is knowledge, and knowledge is power". (Louis Braille) "Access to communication in the widest sense is access to knowledge, and that is vitally important for us if we are not to go on being despised or patronized by condescending sighted people. We do not need pity, nor do we need to be reminded that we are vulnerable. We must be treated as equals – and communication is the way we can bring this about". (Louis Braille) "Louis Braille created the code of raised dots for reading and writing that bears his name and brings literacy, independence, and productivity to the blind". (Bob Ney) "We are only as blind as we want to be". (Maya Angelou) To know more visit- https://www.dailychemist.com/ End
