| If
I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist,
I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light
that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not
ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never
be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a
prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty
to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery
worse than any physical deprivation. ~ Helen Keller |
| It
is a lonely existence to be a child with a disability
which no-one can see or understand, you exasperate your
teachers, you disappoint your parents, and worst of all
you know that you are not just stupid. ~ Susan Hampshire |
| I
was slightly brain damaged at birth, and I want people
like me to see that they shouldn't let a disability get
in the way. I want to raise awareness - I want to turn

|
I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is
my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were
great and noble. ~ Helen Keller |
| Although
the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the
overcoming of it. ~ Helen Keller |
|
Placing one foot in front of the other, I've climbed to
higher lengths. Reaching beyond my own limitations, to
show my inner strength. No obstacle too hard, for this
warrior to overcome. I'm just a man on a mission, to prove
my disability hasn't won. ~ Robert M. Hensel |
| If
we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help
make the world safe for diversity. ~
John F. Kennedy |
