Crutches Quotes
On recovery, setbacks, and the will to get back up.
These quotes come from people who spent real time on crutches, through a difficult pregnancy, a serious motorbike accident, or an injury that kept them off the field. What stands out is how often the hardest part wasn't the physical limit but sitting out entirely.

I look at smoking as a crutch, and as an actor I would like strip away as many crutches as possible.

The simplest consequence of walking on crutches is that you walk slower. Every step must be a necessary one. When you hurry, you get where you're going, but you get there alone. When you go slow, you get where you're going, but you get there with a community you've built along the way.
