Disability
Disability is an impairment that may be cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, sensory, or some combination of these. It substantially affects a person's life activities and may be present from birth or occur during a person's lifetime.
Disability
If there was a country called disabled,
I would be from there.
I live disabled culture, eat disabled food,
make disabled love, cry disabled tears,
climb disabled mountains and tell disabled stories…
“Disabled Country,” Neil Marcus per UC Berkeley Bancroft Library Oral History project
Disability
[Bioethics] is "a phony branch of elite philosophy whose principle purpose seems to be to justify allowing badly ill or disabled people to die."
Larry Thornberry, "The Dean of Suspense", The American Spectator (2009-07-08)
Disability
Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you’re needed by someone.
Martina Navratilova, quoted in p 15, Grand Ideas from Within By Janice M. Mcdermott & Joan Stewart
