I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one.

I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

If you're "stuck" right now, you're probably into fear. Get out of there. You've already looked both ways. Now cross the street, for heaven sake. The cars have long since gone. The coast is clear. Your only obstacle now is your own mind. ~Neale Donald Walsch

Ideas for gadgets for the disabled were coming into my head so fast they seemed to be arriving from somewhere outside of me, beamed down by an unremitting force.
