“If a bloke gave you a hundred quid for a book you can bet your life it’s his way, but if all the poor and suffering people raise their hats to you for writing it - that’s different; it makes it worthwhile then.”
Alan Marshall

“The crippled child is not conscience of the handicap implied by his useless legs. Though often inconvenient or annoying, but he is confident that it will never prevent him from doing what he wants to do or being whatever he wishes to be. If he considers them a handicap its because he has been told they are. Children make no distinction between the one who's lame or the one who has use of all his limbs.”
Alan Marshall , I Can Jump Puddles
