For Every Child Prodigy That

One Of The Great Challenges Is To Know When Things Are Not Right.

This Machine, The Wheelchair, I Can Go All Over The Place, But You Need A Place Without Stairs To Get In.

I Find Personally That When I Go To A Place Where I Can't Get In, I Feel Hostility From Whatever It Is, A Hotel, A Shop, A Market, A Street Corner Where There Are No Curb Cuts, Because Somebody Forgot To Put Them In, And Where I Have To Go Two Blocks To The Corner To Do It. A Lot Of The Excuses Are, "well, This Is An Old Building." That's My Favorite One. "this Is An Old Building." It's As Though 50 Years Ago, People With Disabilities Did Not Exist. As If The Disabled Are A New Problem. It Has Always Been A Problem.

The Violin Of My Dreams. If You Wanna Play A Pianissimo That Is Almost Inaudible And Yet It Carries Through A Hall That Seats 3,000 People, There's Your Strad.

Child Prodigy Is A Curse Because You've Got All Those Terrible Possibilities.
