It is usually slightly misquoted--and one might observe that Anne Sullivan is the true source, as it was she who taught it to Helen Keller. In a letter to the Rev. Phillips Brooks, June 8, 1891, Keller wrote, ". . . how happy your little Helen was when her teacher explained to her that the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor even touched, but just felt in the heart.” Keller corresponded much with Brooks (the author of "O Little Town of Bethlehem"). The letter is printed in full in Keller's autobiography, "The Story of My Life" (1902), in part II.

What makes your beautiful?

My apologies, but I do not have a beautiful. Having asked around, nobody else has heard of this 'beautiful' that you speak of, let alone owns one. However, there are only two things that make material things in this world, and one of them would require you to change your question from 'What' to 'Who', as the first is human beings. The other thing is a machine. There is a massive range of machines, and I'm sure that there may indeed be one capable of making you a beautiful, but none that I or any other has heard of. Nonetheless I hope that you do find a means of making your beautiful.
