In the grammar of the phallus -- the I, I, I -- [woman] can't utter female experience.

In the grammar of the phallus -- the I, I, I -- [woman] can't utter female experience.

God enters the world through those of us who are willing to let God participate fully in our lives.

Do others, I wondered, "see things as I do? I do not think so, for if they did they would not still be alive." And, life-threatening though my vision seemed, I would not repudiate it: "Sometimes I think I shall die from being different even as I cling to the difference fiercely."

I felt permanently exiled from 'normality.' Whether imposed by self or society, this outsider status - and not the disability itself - constitutes the most daunting barrier for most people with physical impairments, because it, even more than flights of steps or elevators without braille, prevents them from participating fully in the ordinary world, where most of life's satisfactions dwell.
