About This Quote
I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up! The idea of “prodigious” is not about how many times or how much of something you have. It is about the quality of something. The word “prodigious” is used to describe things that are very large, strong, powerful, or at least unusual. This quote has often been attributed to Helen Keller, but there is no definitive proof that she ever said it.
