Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.

You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.

You should have a dream and absolutely go for it. Don't let anybody say you can't do it.

I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.

All the scientists who are working on solving the problem of curing paralysis say that it won't do you any good if you don't keep your body in shape.

Even if your body doesn't work the way it used to, the heart and the mind and the spirit are not diminished.

For everyone who thought I couldn’t do it… for everyone who thought I shouldn’t do it… for everyone who said, ‘It’s impossible’… see you at the finish line!
