[color=darkblue]Hey, 3ayesh. In my opinion the author of this quote, mentioned above, meant that inspite all of the sufferings and evil of the world there existed a hope, human’s still will and great desire to overcome it.
[color=brown]Became blind and deaf at an early age as a result of a brain fever, Helen Keller overcame her disability to help fight for others in a similar situation, and for workers rights.

[color=darkblue]I hope now the meaning of her words became clear to you.
It’s sometimes amazing to realize that peopele of physical disabilities can be so strong and wise, never losing their hope and encouraging others…

Yes, the “official” expression appears to be with “get”, although “gets” would be grammatically possible, too.
