Quotable Quotes:

"I do not believe that I shall ever be able to walk. It would be the most wonderful gift God and life could give, but I do not expect it. I think invalids make a terrible mistake building their lives around a hope which doctors tell them cannot be realized except by a miracle. If you keep waiting for that miracle to happen in the future, how can you possibly adjust your life around your handicap? -- SR, in a 1947 magazine article" (IMDB)
