Text Quotes
Being in a wheelchair for 30 years. I’m not whining about it because I don’t dwell on things I can’t do anything about, you know. I never really think about until somebody mentions it. I did take a bullet  (Whee Quotes) If you’re a manager you can’t get frustrated and be emotional. You have to continue to steer the ship, you can’t let go of the wheel because who knows where it will go then  (Whee Quotes) Humans have always used our intelligence and creativity to improve our existence. After all, we invented the wheel, discovered how to make fire, invented the printing press and found a vaccine for polio  (Whee Quotes) Why do I always choose the shopping cart with the squeaky wheel? Is it my bad luck, or are all the carts dysfunctional?  (Whee Quotes) Nature cares nothing for logic, our human logic: she has her own, which we do not recognize and do not acknowledge until we are crushed under its wheel  (Whee Quotes) The great wheel of fire of ancient wisdom, silence and word engendering the myth of the origin, human action engendering the epic voyage toward the other; historical violence revealing the tragic flaw of the hero who must then return to the land of origin; myth of death and renewal and silence from which new words and images will arise, keeps on turning in spite of the blindness of purely lineal thought  (Whee Quotes) Life, too, is like that. You live it forward, but understand it backward. It is only when you stop and look to the rear that you see the corpse caught under your wheel  (Whee Quotes) Standing in the corridor was a large plastic bin on wheels. He looked inside. Empty tins of dog food. That explained the spaghetti with meat sauce. Oh well, he’d eaten worse  (Whee Quotes) The sky lay over the city like a map showing the strata of things and the big full moon toppled over in a furrow like the abandoned wheel of a gun carriage on a sunset field of battle and the shadows walked like cats and I looked into the white and ghostly interior of things and thought of you and I looked on their structural outsides and thought of you and was lonesome  (Whee Quotes) This is the one thing I hope: that she never stopped. I hope when her body couldn’t run any farther she left it behind like everything else that tried to hold her down, she floored the pedal and she went like wildfire, streamed down night freeways with both hands off the wheel and her head back screaming to the sky like a lynx, white lines and green lights whipping away into the dark, her tires inches off the ground and freedom crashing up her spine  (Whee Quotes) Fortune’s wheel takes you very high and then throws you very low, and there is nothing you can do but face the turn of it with courage  (Whee Quotes) People are pissed off about the seemingly impossible goal of social mobility. their proposed solution is to take the wheels off the cart  (Whee Quotes) Fear of failure is at least as common as the desire for success. In fact, if harnessed properly, it can be the energy that drives the wheel  (Whee Quotes) The arts of peace and the arts of war are like two wheels of a cart which, lacking one, will have difficulty in standing  (Whee Quotes) Bringing together disparate personalities to form a team is like a jigsaw puzzle. You have to ask yourself: what is the whole picture here? We want to make sure our players all fit together properly and complement each other, so that we don’t have a big piece, a little piece, an oblong piece, and a round piece. If personalities work against each other, as a team you’ll find yourselves spinning your wheels  (Whee Quotes) The misery which follows pleasure is the pleasure which follows misery. The pleasure and misery of mankind revolve like a wheel  (Whee Quotes) The patient man is merry indeed... The jailers that watch him are but his pages of honour, and his very dungeon but the lower side of the vault of heaven. He kisseth the wheel that must kill him; and thinks the stairs of the scaffold of his martyrdom but so many degrees of his ascent to glory. The tormentors are weary of him. the beholders have pitty on him, all men wonder at him; and while he seems below all men, below himself, he is above nature. He hath so overcome hlmself that nothing can conquer him  (Whee Quotes) The infantryman slithers in the mud, while many teams of horses are needed to drag each gun forward. All wheeled vehicles sink up to their axles in the slime. Even tractors can only move with great difficulty. A large portion of our heavy artillery was soon stuck fast... The strain that all this caused our already exhausted troops can perhaps be imagined  (Whee Quotes) Water gushing out of thousands of springs at different places cannot move the wheels of a big engine to carry out very heavy tasks. But the channeled flow of the same water in the bed of a stream will, however, be irresistible and can become a source of tremendous energy  (Whee Quotes) We all understand what we signed up for, but then again, you don’t want this to be a game that puts people in wheelchairs at age 40  (Whee Quotes) If you have it, it is for life. It is a disease for which there is no cure. You will go on riding even after they have to haul you on a comfortable wise old cob, with feet like inverted buckets and a back like a fireside chair... when I can’t ride anymore, I shall still keep horses as long as I can hobble about with a bucket and a wheelbarrow. When I can’t hobble, I shall roll my wheelchair out to the fence of the field where my horses graze, and watch them  (Whee Quotes) I am alive. Up here with the song of the engine and the air whispering on my face as the sunlight and shadows play upon the banking, wheeling wings, I am completely, vibrantly alive. With the stick in my right hand, the throttle in my left, and the rudder beneath my feet, I can savor that essence from which life is made  (Whee Quotes) And in that narrow cockpit I wept, as I shall never weep again, when I felt the concrete brush against his wheels and, with a great sweep of the wrist, dropped him on the ground like a cut flower. As always, I carefully cleared the engine, turned off all the switches one by one, removed the straps, the wires and the tubes which tied me to him, like a child to his mother. And when my waiting pilots and my mechanics saw my downcast eyes and my shaking shoulders, they understood and returned to the dispersal in silence  (Whee Quotes) You loved ferris wheels more than roller coasters because life shouldn’t be lived at full speed, but in anticipation and appreciation  (Whee Quotes) Today’s food trucks are far from cheap eats on wheels, there are some seriously gourmet offerings on four wheels  (Whee Quotes) A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it  (Whee Quotes) The only weapon we have is our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so wheels don’t turn  (Whee Quotes) This machine, the wheelchair, I can go all over the place, but you need a place without stairs to get in  (Whee Quotes) When man resolved to imitate walking, he invented the wheel, which does not look like a leg. In doing this, he was practicing surrealism without knowing it  (Whee Quotes) 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  (Whee Quotes)
