Crippled Quotes (page 2)

Roberto Bolano quote: "Bright colours in the west, giant butterflies dancing as night..."
Bright colours in the west, giant butterflies dancing as night crept like a cripple toward the east. Roberto Bolano
Miles was…the thing is, he was afflicted with a severe birth injury. He grew up pretty much crippled, so he poured all his frustrated energy into his intellect. Since the Vorkosigan family motto might as well be, Anything worth achieving is worth overachieving, the effect was pretty frightening. And it worked for him, so he did it some more. Lois McMaster Bujold
I know girls who pine for it. They like to play dress-up and pretend being Vor ladies of old, rescued from menace by romantic Vor youths. For some reason they never play 'dying in childbirth', or 'vomiting your guts out from the red dysentery', or 'weaving till you go blind and crippled from arthritis and dye poisoning', or 'infanticide'. Well, they do die romantically of disease sometimes, but somehow it's always an illness that makes you interestingly pale and everyone sorry and doesn't... Lois McMaster Bujold
Louis-Ferdinand Celine quote: "A woman who spends her time worrying about pregnancy is a..."
A woman who spends her time worrying about pregnancy is a virtual cripple, she'll never go very far. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Yesterday from my office window I saw a crippled girl negotiating her way across the street, her shoulders squarely braced. At each jerky movement her hair flew back like an annunciatory angel, and I saw she was the only dancer on the street. Elizabeth Smart
Anne Lamott quote: "When I was young, I used to be so jealous of other girls that..."
When I was young, I used to be so jealous of other girls that it crippled me. Anne Lamott
Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate;--debt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be forgone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most. Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is perhaps in reading a love story (or in writing one) that we can simultaneously partake of the ecstasy and agony of being in love without paying a crippling emotional price. I offer this book, then, as a cure for lovesickness and an antidote to adultery. Read these love stories in the safety of your single bed. Let everybody else suffer. Jeffrey Eugenides
My first thought was, he lied in every word, That hoary cripple, with malicious eye. Askance to watch the working of his lie. On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford. Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored. Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby. Robert Browning
There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve. William S. Burroughs
Did I say that the world had never had better color? I left something out of account, a limping, crippled consideration which seems to lose ground as you reach beauty and Orizaba flowers, but soon you find it has preceded you. Saul Bellow
John Lennon quote: "One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside."
One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside. John Lennon
Sue Grafton quote: "When I'm with you, I don't feel self-conscious or like I'm..."
When I'm with you, I don't feel self-conscious or like I'm crippled or ugly. I don't know how you do that, but it's nice. Sue Grafton
One day at a time. You rise, you eat, you bathe, and you talk to the few people you can tolerate while feeling so wretched. Over time, it hurts a little less. Then a little less. And so on...Until one morning, you will awake and realize the pain is only a memory. It will always be with you, but it will eventually lack the power to cripple you. Sylvia Day
I feel my soul as vast as the world, truly a soul as deep as the deepest of rivers; my chest has the power to expand to infinity. I was made to give and they prescribe for me the humility of the cripple. Frantz Fanon
