- [of living in a wheelchair because of polio:] "Certainly I would like to be able to walk, but if the good fairy of the old stories offered me the one gift, the ability to walk would not be the thing I would ask for. More years with my husband than I may normally expect, the ability to write better -- a dozen things -- would come before it."
