I left him in his wheelchair, staring sadly into the fireplace. I wondered how many times he’d sat here, waiting for heroes that never came back.
Rick Riordan
Image
There are people I would like to work with. Its a bit harder, because I live out in the sticks anyway, and plus being in a wheelchair means that I cant really circulate. So I tend to stick to my own thing.
Robert Wyatt
Image
My next climb is going to be a tourist troll in a wheelchair.
Allen Steck
Image
My disability exists not because I use a wheelchair, but because the broader environment isn't accessible.
Stella Young

Some damage is too severe, some harm endures. And what you have to do is accept it. And by accept it I mean, don’t be the paralyzed person in the bed who is waiting to walk again. Realize, it’s never gonna happen. And find some other way to get around –swing from a vine, get a Mad Max wheelchair. Anything but…wait.
Augusten Burroughs

My dad was in a wheelchair and on oxygen for the last few years of his life.

My bike is my gym, my wheelchair, and my church all in one.

I think when I'm 80 years old, 85, hopefully, I'll be pushed around in a wheelchair by a red-headed nurse with panty outline. She'll make me little tequila sunrises and I'll read my complete works then. Then, I'll decide whether I think I've done something good or not. I'll reserve my judgment until then.
Tom Robbins

It's like, 'Wow. Yes, I had fun... but damn, was it really all worth it when I'm in a wheelchair at the age of 45 and can't play with my grandkids?'
Donte Stallworth

As a wheelchair user, you cant move about freely. Thats the only thing that bothers me a little. When Im in the Euro Group in Brussels, colleagues who want to talk to me have to come to me. But I hope they know that this has nothing to do with arrogance.
Wolfgang Schauble

I was born with scoliosis. I have a double curvature of the spine, and it's forced me to use a wheelchair because the disease has really taken hold. It really saddens me that I can't ride.
Elizabeth Taylor

Technically I can get out of my wheelchair and crawl around and do things, but when I've traveled and they've lost my wheelchair in transit, I feel like I need to be bound to it. My functionality and autonomy are often bound to this.
Zach Anner

Look, calling somebody in a wheelchair handicapable doesn`t all of a sudden give them the power to climb stairs or the ability to grab Ho-Hos off the top shelf.
Glenn Beck
Image
This machine, the wheelchair, I can go all over the place, but you need a place without stairs to get in.
Itzhak Perlman
Image
In wheelchair sports, people thought athletes with disabilities were courageous and inspirational. They never give them credit for simply being competitive.
Jean Driscoll

What's four years in our long American history? Remember when I asked that wheelchair-bound politician to stand up. It turns me off when people say Donald Trump is authentic. Just because he says Mexican rapists. What about me? I am the real deal.
Joe Biden
Image
Towards the end of 2003 it was hard to get through training - and the darkest point was when a doctor told me there was a possibility I could end up in a wheelchair.
Jonah Lomu
Image
I'd rather be in this wheelchair knowing God than on my feet without him.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Image
Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
Keith Richards
Image
I wouldn't care if he lost both his legs and was in a wheelchair. But it he's having a hard time...Then I won't see him.
Na Hae Ryeong
Image
It's like people you see sometimes, and you can't imagine what it would be like to be that person, whether it's somebody in a wheelchair or somebody who can't talk. Only, I know that I'm that person to other people, maybe to every single person in that whole auditorium. To me, though, I'm just me. An ordinary kid.
R. J. Palacio
Image
I can see myself as a very old man in a terrific wheelchair. Only, I won't be photographing the tree outside my window, the way Steichen did. I'll be photographing other old people.
Richard Avedon
Image
If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair.
Ricky Ponting
Image
The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know.
