The simplest consequence of walking on crutches is that you walk slower. Every step must be a necessary one. When you hurry, you get where you're going, but you get there alone. When you go slow, you get where you're going, but you get there with a community you've built along the way.

If you always have a crutch, you don't learn anything.

My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand the sideline.

I look at smoking as a crutch, and as an actor I would like strip away as many crutches as possible.

Being seduced by a man on crutches was an interesting experience.

I feel bad for people in wheelchairs and people who have to use crutches.

Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch.

I believe in greater self-sufficiency. International sport is tough, no doubt, but there shouldn't be too many crutches. In most cases sports psychologists are crutches, and they tend to soften rather than harden the players.

A lot of the problems teenagers go through, it's better for them to go through them on their own. If you always have a crutch, you don't learn anything.

A little credulity helps one on through life very smoothly.
