DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 2 OF 3 Saturday, July 1, 2023

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 1 OF 3 Saturday, July 1, 2023

Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities. - Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

There is no such thing as a disability, and we say diffability, because we know you are all different, and possess different abilities. - Troian Anderson, The Light of Winter

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 17 OF 18 Monday, July 31, 2023

You’re always dealing with a stereotype. There’s the superhuman trope and the vulnerable trope – the benefit scrounger, someone who takes, doesn’t offer anything to society because they’re so incapable. And if you’re trying to be the superhuman, you don’t want to look as if you’re leaning on anyone, because people will think, which one are you? It’s really hard to embody both. But the gap between the tropes is where we want to live. - Sophie L. Morgan

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 16 OF 18 Monday, July 31, 2023

In America access is always about architecture and never about human beings. Among Israelis and Palestinians, access was rarely about anything but people. While in the U.S. a wheelchair stands out as an explicitly separate experience from the mainstream, in the Israel and Arab worlds it is just another thing that can go wrong in a place where things go wrong all the time. - John Hockenberry, Moving Violations: War Zones, Wheelchairs, and Declarations of Independence

The body as home, but only if it is understood that bodies are never singular, but rather haunted, strengthened, underscored by countless other bodies. - Steven Magee

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 14 OF 15 Wednesday, July 26, 2023

In the years since then there has been a gradual change in the climate of ideas with regard to the disabled. It had begun to dawn on the able-bodied world that it is possible to combine an unsatisfactory body with a perfectly satisfactory brain, and a personality at any rate as satisfactory as most other people's. Trailing somewhat behind that, but now beginning to emerge also, is the much more startling idea that the disabled may not only have normal brains and the ability to hold down normal jobs and the wish to join in normal recreations and be accepted for ourselves, just as people, but normal emotions also. That we may have the same emotional needs as anybody else, and the ability to satisfy those needs in each other, or even in the able-bodied. - Rosemary Sutcliff, Blue Remembered Hills: A Recollection

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 13 OF 15 Wednesday, July 26, 2023

The lingerie department is the only one that she can reach in her wheelchair. Nevertheless, she is fired the next day because of complaints that a woman who is so obviously not sexually attractive selling alluring nightgowns makes customers uncomfortable. Daunted by her dismissal, she seeks consolation in the arms of the young manager and soon finds herself pregnant. Upon learning of this news, he leaves her for a nondisabled woman with a fuller bustline and better homemaking skills in his inaccessible kitchen. - Rosemarie Garland Thomson

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 11 OF 12 Wednesday, July 19, 2023

It was probably no accident that it was the cripple Hephaestus who made ingenious machines; a normal man didn't have to hoist or jack himself over hindrances by means of cranks, chains and metal parts. Then it was in the line of human advance that Einhorn could do so much. - Saul Bellow, The Adventures of Augie March

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 9 OF 9 Thursday, July 13, 2023

What would happen, they conjectured, if they simply went on assuming their children would do everything. Perhaps not quickly. Perhaps not by the book. But what if they simply erased those growth and development charts, with their precise, constricting points and curves? What if they kept their expectations but erased the time line? What harm could it do? Why not try? - Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper's Daughter

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 8 OF 9 Thursday, July 13, 2023

Theres a remarkable amount of strength residing in those who move forward without being able to physically move. Ones that carry the weight of illness or a disability, they battle wars most know nothing about. They are the true warriors of the world, the ones who have every reason to quit but never do. - Nikki Rowe

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 7 OF 9 Thursday, July 13, 2023

I've met so many parents of the kids who are on the low end of the autism spectrum, kids who are diametrically opposed to Jacob, with his Asperger's. They tell me I'm lucky to have a son who's verbal, who is blisteringly intelligent, who can take apart the broken microwave and have it working again an hour later. They think there is no greater hell than having a son who is locked in his own world, unaware that there's a wider one to explore. But try having a son who is locked in his own world and still wants to make a connection. A son who tries to be like everyone else but truly doesn't know how. - Jodi Picoult, House Rules
