"Nobody is perfect.Each of us has imperfections that make us different from anyone else."

        "Being different is not a problem.It's just being different.But feeling different is a problem.When you feel different, the feeling can actually change the way you see the world."

        "The quadriplegia was the same.What changed?"

        "Your different-ness and my different-ness are just facts, Sometimes what we do with our minds turns those facts into pain, and sometimes we can just treat them as facts, acknowledging them but not feeling them.But the more you feel your different-ness, the more lonely you will feel."

        "In some of the most important ways, you already are perfect."
