Karan Singh Grover
Well, it all depends on how you, you know, perceive the religion angle. I always say to each their own and I’d much rather have a guy that’s going to be preaching religion as oppose a guy who’s going to be shooting himself in the leg.
Boomer Esiason
I still start to get panicky each morning before I go on television. I’ll say, ‘I’m in awful shape, something is wrong,’ and if I start to look like I’m going off the deep end, Jimmy Straka, the stage manager, will say, ‘You’re all right. Calm down.’ Then Bryant Gumbel will grab me by the leg or something.
Willard Scott
As far as I’m concerned, I own my dogs as I own my body. My legs are with me when I take a shower, and I feel no shame. If I were to lose one, I’d grieve, and people would send sympathy cards, but it would be my condition that evoked the sympathy, not the fate of the leg. That’s like losing a dog.
Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

I grew up in rural Washington before I moved to the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and my first dog was – his name first was Bear, but then it changed to Big, and he sort of looked like Old Yeller.

Lesli Linka Glatter

Penny Hardaway
My knee is as strong as it was before, if not stronger, and it’s a matter of getting my leg strong. I lost six years of strength in about six month’s time, so it’s going to take another year or two to get that leg back up to full strength, but I’m good to go so far.
Picabo Street

Just because you want to wear organic cotton doesn’t mean you have to spend an arm and a leg.
Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

Rebel Wilson
I think of guitar players in terms of doctors: you have the doctor for your heart, the cardiologist, then one that works on your feet, your leg. But I believe George Benson is the one that plays all over. To me, he would be the M.D. of them all.

What Aldo is good at is the leg kicks, that’s what oppened a lot of doors for him. He would land those leg kicks, and then the shot would come from there, but in terms of his hands, he doesn’t have, I mean he has power, of course he does, but nowhere near the power that I have, I promise you that.

I guess, when I go there in the centre, when I do my rehabilitation, I look at the people with only one leg and I actually envy them because I’d love to have one leg. I guess the ones that only have one leg, they envy the ones that they are only missing one leg below the knee, and on and on.
Alex Zanardi
Banging my feet against the snow to get a grip on the ice, I damaged my artificial leg stump.

You love the game, but it’s hard to do the things you do when you’re feeling like you’re a leg down all the time, literally. Or you’re always beat up, even coming into the season. So it’s just not as fun when you’re down, and you got to work your way up. And you can’t really get there because you’re so beat up.
Calvin Johnson
Cornwall bears a certain resemblance to Italy: each is like a leg or boot, but Italy stands a-tiptoe to the south, whereas Cornwall is thrust out to the west. But, whereas Italy is kicking Sicily as a football, Cornwall has but the shattered group of the Scilly Isles at its toe.
Sabine Baring-Gould
I went through this phase where I thought pink and purple matched. To dance class, I’d wear purple tights and pink leg warmers and paint my shoes purple. It was really odd.
Carrie Ann Inaba
I’m not formal and I’m impatient. So I think my team would say that when she starts tapping her pen and the leg starts moving quickly, that it’s time to move on. I’m not good at long, drawn-out kinds of sessions.
Anne M. Mulcahy
If you look at wrestling when I started to get my big break back in 1992, I changed wrestling from the cartoons of Hulk Hogan and Iron Sheik and the matches with the leg drop and the hand behind the ear and the playing to the crowd. They were just cartoon characters if you ask me.

The moment when I broke my leg, when I realized my leg was broken, I thought my career was over.

I feel pain everywhere. A lot of guys in chairs do feel their legs. But if you don’t, there’s a thing called disreflex, so you know if something happens, say, you can’t feel your foot or your leg and your body reacts. You know something’s not right and you survey what’s going on.
Mark Zupan
Wrestling was the first time I thought, ‘My leg is the thing that functions in this way to do this move, to get from A to B.’ Instead of, like, ‘My body’s purpose is to suck it in so the male showrunner thinks it’s attractive.’

Cathy Rigby
It’s damage to a nerve. It pretty much shut down the whole lower part of my left leg. I wasn’t able to step anymore. It’s called foot drop – basically, you can’t lift your foot.
Michael Chandler
A Republican philosophy goes something like this: If you take your car to the mechanic, and instead of fixing it, they take out the engine and charge you an arm and a leg, you should conclude that mechanics can’t fix cars and you should probably just take yours to the junkyard and sell it for scrap metal.

Luol Deng
For my body, I like high-waisted jeans because they make your leg look longer and hides this extra thing on my stomach. You can eat extra food with it because it hides, and I like to tuck in my t-shirts.
Irina Shayk
Well, I’ve always prefered playing spin off the back foot because, to my mind, it takes short leg and silly point out of the equation.
Nasser Hussain

Michele Bachmann
As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up. I never had that advantage. It’s less an artistic need to express myself and more a need to prove myself.
Eddie Marsan
Vishal is a gentleman. I really enjoyed working with him on the sets. But he keeps pulling everybody’s leg!
Catherine Tresa
Most ankle strap shoes are seriously unattractive, cutting the line of the leg as well as cutting off the circulation! Try dancing in them – your feet will look like a pair of overdone hotdogs afterwards.
Joan Collins
It took one human error to take my leg and one human error to take my mother’s.
Heather Mills
I think my love of form is especially informed by my background, whether this is creating a wonderful silhouette in a dress or finding the perfect shape for a bowl or the ‘just so’ angle of a table leg.
John Rocha
I would not have climbed Everest had I not met with the accident in 2011. Though I lost my leg, it made me a stronger person.

Martina Navratilova
Standing in front of our hallway mirror, I am practising a few poses – one leg artfully bent, the opposite shoulder up – when the man of the house strides in and decides to share: a) I look like I have dislocated my shoulder and b) Has anyone ever told me I strongly resemble Tom Cruise?
Twinkle Khanna

I had an injury in my leg, and everybody was talking about that. I decided to cut my hair and leave the small thing there. I come to training, and everybody saw me with bad hair. Everybody was talking about the hair and forgot about the injury. I could stay more calm and relaxed and focused on my training.
Ronaldo
To put down an ideogram of a table so that people will recognize it as a table is not the work of a painter, but to sense it for a moment as a magic carpet with a leg hanging down at each corner is the beginning of a painter’s imagination.
Frank Auerbach
When I was 18, I broke my leg, and my shin came right through – like I had two knees.
Tony McCoy
My knee bends only to a 60 degree angle. Normally, like on my right leg, my heel can touch my glute if I just pull my leg back. On my left side, there’s still a big percentage missing. That has made me change my style in the ring.
Rey Mysterio
When I broke my leg, I never thought I’d ever be skating again let alone be standing on a world podium. I had to relearn how to skate, relearn how to even stand on one foot again. I had to relearn all my technique.

During the period of house arrest, I had an electronic manacle around my leg for 24 hours a day, and for someone who has tried to give others liberty all their adult life, that is absolutely intolerable.

I shattered the heel in my good leg, and it was an extremely bad injury. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to snowboard again.
Mike Schultz
I’m a big horror fan, but I don’t enjoy a lot of gore and watching somebody cut their leg off for five hours. I like the older movies where it draws you into the suspense, that sort of shock and awe.
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood
The Constitution’s Preamble, its renowned introductory passage, was written by a man with a peg-leg. Which, if you think about it, gives our Constitution hardly a leg to stand on.

Shaun White
When people are nervous, some people move around. Some people scratch their leg.

When I broke my leg in college my first year, they were worried that I wouldn’t walk straight again. In fact, I’m pretty pigeon-toed, and most people think I don’t walk straight anyway.
John Layfield
So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we’ll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We’ve also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.
Robert Lanza
I started playing soccer first and then basketball. I had a leg injury when I was young and my mom said, ‘come on, try to choose a different sport.’
Goran Dragic
The knee was all deformed, bloodied up and leaking with puss. I just couldn’t move it. Stiff. It was like I had a spare leg. All of my quad was skinny. It was like a pole with a pineapple in the middle of it.

I do all over body workouts, HIIT classes, boxing and lots of leg and back work.
Emma Willis
Even the greatest mathematicians, the ones that we would put into our mythology of great mathematicians, had to do a great deal of leg work in order to get to the solution in the end.
Daniel Tammet
I don’t know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
Richard Simmons
I don’t know what it’s like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy. I don’t speak for such huge and diverse groups. What I’ve tried to do, what I’ve been fortunate to do, is to live my live and create my life as I’ve wanted to create it.
Aimee Mullins
I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.
Florence Griffith Joyner
I broke my leg is all I did. I didn’t break my brain.
Tony Stewart
I did a very stupid diet where you have three food groups, and you never eat them together. It’s so bloody tedious; I’m losing the will to live just describing it. I managed to stay very thin because you spent your life wandering around starving hungry looking for a chickpea to go with a chicken leg.
Ben Miller
The Chinese Communist Party is the greatest threat our country faces, so we cannot afford a strategic shortfall that gives China a leg up.
Ronny Jackson
I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn’t even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
Byron Katie
As a little boy of 3 or 4, I became lame. Something was wrong with my right leg. There are pictures of me being pulled around in a little wagon. The doctors didn’t know what to do. So my nanny took me to the miraculous Madonna at Sacro Monte in Varese, the priest blessed me, and I walked.
Gian Carlo Menotti
I can talk the hind leg off a donkey.
Jo Frost
I had to teach myself how to walk again. It was crazy. I couldn’t even make a muscle in my leg. I felt like no muscles in my leg. I was already skinny. It was like my leg was dead.
Shaun Livingston
I love leg locks and heel hooks and kneebars. They’re complex and hard to avoid.
Frank Mir
After having polio, my right leg was weaker, so I wasn’t great at football. But I swam lots and even did long-distance running.
Donovan
I’m OK with hitting you, I’m OK with getting hit, I’m OK with cuts, broken leg, broken nose – I’ve broken my nose five, six times – but I don’t need to verbally assault somebody. I don’t need to say anything bad about somebody.
Beneil Dariush
It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People on the heavier side can go for a wide-legged trouser with a double brisket jacket, while women with a slim figure must go for a slim leg trouser with a single button jacket.
Nandita Mahtani
A person who shakes a leg to ‘Zor ka jhatka’ at a disc doesn’t care about its picturization in the film. He enjoys and downloads it because of the merit of the song.
Shaan
Barboza is up there. He’s a scary fight, but I like being scared. And that’s a fight that me, as a fan, would want to see. I know how much fans would love something like that. So I’ll go out there and try to finish that dude with leg kicks.
Justin Gaethje
Sometimes English football takes pride in having the lowest yellow-card count in Europe, but of course it will have if you can take someone’s leg off and still not be booked.
Luis Suarez
I’ve done shows with one leg; I’ve done three shows in a row, blown-out back.
Bruce Buffer
I think one of the reasons ‘The Karate Kid’ film has stood the test of time, aside from ‘Get him a body bag,’ ‘Sweep the leg,’ catching flies with chopsticks, all of that stuff that’s become pop culture, is that it worked on a human level.
Ralph Macchio
All of a sudden, I don’t have a leg. I’m in a wheelchair. I have half a foot; I can’t even walk to the bathroom. I’m in a bed, I can’t move, and I felt like those four walls were my prison.
Lauren Wasser
One day, I just thought, if you see a bird with a broken leg, you really have the urge to do something about it and help the bird. Then, at the same time, you go to a restaurant and eat a chicken or something. It doesn’t make any sense.
Patrik Baboumian
A high heel elongates the leg and inevitably flatters every figure.
Stacey Bendet
There was one player who was better than Pele. It was Garrincha. He had one leg crooked, the other one straight, normal. How did he do all those things with such difficulties? He was a paralytic! And the way he played! Much better than us all!
Eusebio
I broke my leg playing football and cycled to the hospital.
Vick Hope
My trouser needs are simple: a narrow leg in a dark colour, with jean detailing.

Tim McGraw
When man wanted to make a machine that would walk he created the wheel, which does not resemble a leg.

Greg Iles
Though I was nominated for awards for films like ‘Tezaab’ and ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ but I never won an award. Now I am not even nominated for any awards but still I attend the award functions as I love being there despite figuring prominently in a lot of leg pulling that goes around in the award ceremonies.
Chunky Pandey
I’d hope that when Channel 4 started, ‘The Last Leg’ was the kind of show it wanted to be putting out. I think they’re really proud of it.
Josh Widdicombe
When I first started YouTube, I was using an old computer that I had had in high school that stayed with me through college that was on its last leg. The boot-up was, like, 25 minutes.
Rosanna Pansino
I bounce my knees, but I do not have restless leg syndrome. I did an interview, I don’t even know who it was with, and they said I told them I have restless leg syndrome and it distracts me from my work. I do not have any syndrome.
Taylor Lautner
I write right-handed. I play soccer with my left leg. When I hold stuff – like a bag or a plate or something – it’s better if I have it in my left hand.
Nikola Vucevic
I still find it strange, I suppose, when I say to someone, ‘Can you just pass me my leg?’ But I don’t ever think about my disability.
Oscar Pistorius
I’m not really much of an actor, so when I started on ‘The Daily Show,’ I was just trying to adopt the faux authority of a newsperson. Having a British accent definitely gave me a sonic leg up on that because there is a faux authority to the British accent in and of itself.
John Oliver
I started surfing when I was working on ‘The Hunger Games,’ out on the north shore of Oahu, so about four years ago. I used to skateboard as a kid, kind of religiously, until I broke my leg riding in a pool when I was about 14 and I couldn’t play football that fall.
Jeffrey Wright
Sticking to a routine helps you get in the zone for the match. I always put my left shinpad on before my right. When I go out onto the pitch, I take three hops on my left leg – but I don’t know why I started. I must have seen Messi do it or something.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
I don’t think kids climbing up the leg of someone is a big deal.

Cyd Charisse

We are a rugby family really. My dad and both granddads played rugby. Dad was good, on his way to Bath until he broke his leg. My brother Harry got an invitation to go and play for Bristol. I go and watch Sale Sharks and have been to Twickenham a few times.
Jack Butland
I’ve got a bad leg; I’m a little overweight, so I can’t run fast, but I will fight.
Roger Ailes
A lie has no leg, but a scandal has wings.
Thomas Fuller
I played football at uni right up until I broke my leg. This girl slide-tackled me, studs up and broke it on impact. I was in my fourth year and mentally it made such a difference having that taken away from me when I needed it.
Vick Hope
I can find every jacket under the sun that I like. But I cannot find trousers cut the way I want them. They’re all really tight at the bottom. Nobody does a boot cut on a trouser leg. It drives me crazy.
Jay Kay
Some things don’t just walk away. A dog got a broken leg, he ain’t just going to walk away. He going to try to get himself together.
Charles Oakley
It is a challenge, with the global fame, to try to act like I put my pants on one leg at a time, when in fact I have Pippa Middleton help me put my pants on every morning. She’s my lady-in-waiting as well.
Kathy Griffin
If my leg falls off, I’ll get a prosthetic. There’d be no deep sadness about. I’d just get on with it! It’s called life, and I love life. You have to be positive, and you have to crack on no matter what.
John Lydon
Everybody watches free-kicks, and when you watch them, you enjoy them. You have got to learn how to shoot and connect with the ball and how to move your leg. For everybody, it is different, but if you want to score lots of goals, then free kicks is an extra way to do that.
Memphis Depay
When I broke my leg on the dirt bike, fear got the best of me that day. I hesitated. I didn’t hit it as fast as I could have, and I came up short. It was the first time in my life I couldn’t get back up.
Jeff Hardy
As early as five I’d stick my leg out in a rock stance for family pictures. I was obsessed with Mick Jagger. I’d stand in front of the mirror and copy him, and I’d put a sock down my pants so I had a nice bulge. I didn’t know what that was. I just thought it was part of the uniform.
Bebe Buell
My leg was pulled on social media with memes and jokes due to my ‘sanskaari’ image.
Alok Nath
It’s interesting to work with celebrities; they are very goal-oriented. But they still have to put their shorts on one leg at a time.
David Kirsch
From the leg lamp to Ralphie’s tongue getting stuck on a frozen pole to that BB-gun incident, ‘A Christmas Story’ has left its mark on all our brains, so much so that it sometimes feels like this story is our own.
Phoebe Robinson
Being explosive, quick, elusive and fast helps my game, so I do tons of lunges, leg press and different explosion type of runs.
LeSean McCoy
I refused to be filmed getting off a bus twice. The director said, ‘I’m an award-winning director. Please do it’, and I said, ‘I never thought I’d say this, but I’m an award-winning actress with a bad leg, and if your film depends on seeing me get in and out of a bus, we’re in trouble.’
Miriam Margolyes
Yes, I did shatter my leg, and it really changed my life, in a way. It wasn’t much fun, but it did open me up, and as we all know intuitively, adversity can develop resources.
Dan Millman
I ended up winning a silver medal at the Summer X Games Adaptive Supercross seven months after my injury – on a leg that I built.
Mike Schultz
I’m a big fan of zombies, and I have a zombie tattoo on my leg.
Tyler Posey
After the leg break it was a very tough time. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t sometimes thought about stopping playing football.
Luke Shaw
When I’m not filming full-time, I work out four times a week doing body weight exercises and weights. I’ll do a leg day maybe with some abs, then the next day I’ll do my arms.
Michelle Keegan
I’m not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can’t possibly speak for a diverse group of people. I don’t know what it’s like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy.
Aimee Mullins
Obviously, throwing leg kicks in the first round is not smart, but it’s something that I can really utilize in the later rounds to both score points and look to finish the fight.
Cain Velasquez
I tend to do golf charity things because it’s much safer and you don’t get much chance of a broken arm or leg.
Dougray Scott
The first to five, it’s anyone’s game. You only have to slip up in one leg, they get a break and then you’re up against it.
Rob Cross
If Kurt Angle’s leg fell off, he’d hop twice as fast to make up for the loss of mobility, man. There’s no quit in him.
Samoa Joe
You work a lot when you’re hurt when you’re a good stuntman, because you’re going to be hurt quite a bit. And you can’t let a sore leg or a bruise or something stop you, so you just take a Percodan and go to work.
Hal Needham
On the road, almost every day I’ll do 100 squats, or sometimes I might do 50 squats and a bunch of leg lifts. I’ll split them up right before I get in the shower and before I go to bed, or sometimes I’ll do all 100 at once. Whatever I do, I try to get those in.
Kimberly Schlapman
I’m scared to go to library. I’m scared John Wick will show up and break my leg again.
Boban Marjanovic
I have a very basic leg. But it has a silicon cover on it. I have a flat foot leg, a high heel leg and then I have a leg which, in the winter, I have to ski in and in the summer I swap it into my roller blades.
Heather Mills
Once I started feeling better and healthier and learned to walk on my first prosthetic leg, I realised I’m not going to be satisfied with just walking around.
Mike Schultz
How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg.
Abraham Lincoln
I actually started snowboarding when I was 7 years old, so I felt very comfortable auditioning for a snowboarding movie, and I thought that would give me some leg up.
Dove Cameron
I’ve kind of banned myself from motorcycles. I’ve had broken ribs, broken shoulder, wrists, leg, broken collarbone – and it was all from motocross or rugby. All of my injuries have come from outside of sailing.
James Spithill
My brother once lit his leg on fire. And after, when the fire was finally out, his leg was covered in third-degree burns. And we made the decision – or my parents did – not to take him to the hospital but to treat that at home with a salve my mother made of comfrey and lobelia.
Tara Westover
I’ve got a scar on my shin from when I got shot in New York when I was 17. I was outside a McDonald’s and somebody shot a gun from a car, and the bullet grazed my leg.
Laila Rouass
Once I got the Jaipor leg, it took me 3 years of physiotherapy to recover and feel normal again.
Sudha Chandran
If the rhythm or beat of the music changes with a live orchestra, you have to think on your feet. If you feel like you are not on your leg, you have to make a decision to make it look as though nothing is going wrong.
Misty Copeland
I got what they called a diabetic stroke. Here’s what it is, my left hand and my left leg. You know when your leg falls asleep? It’s like that constantly. It’s not painful, but it’s so annoying. My leg is all tingly and my arm is all tingly.
Dick Van Patten
Leg spinners can change the game.
Imran Tahir
When I am brushing my teeth, I’m bending my leg behind me, or I’m lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I’m squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I’m washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit.
Christie Brinkley
Instead of hazarding our future on the dirty fuels of the past, let’s invest in clean power that can drive this country forward. Let’s cut energy waste, make our economy the world’s most efficient, and give our workers a leg up in the global marketplace.
Frances Beinecke
I would climb on roofs and jump off using my parents’ bed sheet, hoping it would open like a parachute. I was always getting hurt, breaking a leg, you know, bruising, cracking my head open.
Cathy Rigby
Having the hip surgery and then still having the pain with it, I was kind of scared jumping off one leg, jumping off two feet. I was scared to be explosive.
Kevon Looney
A crocodile just swung around and hit me with its teeth. It took a big chunk off my leg.
Steve Backshall
I got the dragon on my leg when I was still living with my dad. He’s not a fan of tattoos, so I had to get it behind his back; he kind of freaked out when he saw it.
Jeff Hardy
I don’t think you can climb Mount Everest with a broken leg, but I did break my leg prior to going to Mount Everest, so I was really climbing with a healing broken leg. I had the good fortune of climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. That was a goal that I had.
Gary Johnson
I can bend over and put my head between my legs, stick my foot over my head, and stand one leg.
Diamond Dallas Page
The artificial leg was like an alien body, fitted to mine. Both had to respond to each other.
Sudha Chandran
Many may look at me and see mostly what I have lost. I struggle to speak, my eyesight’s not great, my right arm and leg are paralyzed, and I left a job I loved representing southern Arizona in Congress.
Gabrielle Giffords
Once a year, I take my whole wine team down to see the Giants, and we meet the players. I’ve never seen anyone pitch like Lincecum that can throw the ball and get through the front leg. He has that stiff front leg.
Tom Seaver
No self-respecting gym goer skips leg day.
James Haskell
I was clipped from behind, and my leg got caught between my opponent’s legs. As we fell, my leg snapped. It was a spiral fracture. They had to put in a plate and five screws. It was a devastating moment: one minute I was on cloud nine, and then I was out for the season.
Ali Krieger
When FDR died in 1945, he was still paralyzed from the waist down. After he died, his portrait was put on the dime. Through his illness, he went out of his way to minimize his difficulties. Of the thousands of pictures taken of him, only two show him in a leg brace or a wheelchair.
David Oshinsky
My old man used to say that I would argue the hind leg of a donkey. If I didn’t agree with something, I wasn’t prepared to accept it.
Dick Strawbridge
Keeping wicket is the worst place to be when out of form. You can’t hide at fine leg where you might touch the ball once every 10 overs. Behind the wicket you are involved every ball.
Jos Buttler
When you have a little 10-month-old who is climbing up your leg because you are their mountain – there’s no nobler reason to get out of bed every day. There’s no better reason to live, to make sure you provide as much guidance and as much room for that child to thrive.
Esai Morales
In my experience, if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg, it’s modern architecture.
Nancy Banks Smith
To go straight to ‘Scandal’ and get to play the larger-than-life guy who has the page-long rants and gets drilled in the leg with blood flying everywhere, it was a blast. It’s really been a nice counterpoint after the first season of ‘The Carrie Diaries.’
Matt Letscher
They amputated my my right leg right below the knee. It was a tough decision, but it had to be done.
George Mikan
Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.
Ani DiFranco
My left foot is severely damaged from TSS, and I’m probably going to have to amputate my left leg. I could be super depressed about it, but I have been given a second chance. I’m here, and I’m living.
Lauren Wasser
In 1949, I saw a World War II veteran named Lou Brissie, who had nearly lost a lower leg in combat, pitch in the All-Star Game in Brooklyn.
George Vecsey
