"I'm not gay or Christian. I'm not a right-wing whacko or a bleedingheart, tree-hugging evergreen liberal. I’m just a guy who's partially disabled and who has laws set up out there to protect my rights to live as a human, not as some second-class citizen. I’m glad the Disability Act was established before Tim Eyman came along or I'd still be fighting high curbs in crosswalks."

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes he still remains
- Simon and Garfunkle, The Boxer, Bridge Over Troubled Water
