Me Quotes
Quotes rooted in the first person.

Several speak to the solitary nature of creative work, something also explored in Life Quotes.

If somebody would've told me that I was going to lose my legs at the age of 19, I would've thought there's absolutely no way I'd be able to handle that. But then it happened, and I realized that there's so much more to live for, that my life isn't about my legs.
