World War II was an injury that incapacitated authors. It was something supernatural, merciless.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

There are a lot of myths about my injuries. They say I have broken every bone in my body. Not true. But I have broken 35 bones. I had surgery 14 times to pin and plate. I shattered my pelvis. I forget all of the things that have broke.

An injury is not just a process of recovery it’s a process of discovery.

I would never want to live partially, suffering from illness or injury

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

The heart of the matter is that some people like to cause injury or death to living things. And many of those who do not are indifferent to those who do.

He who hates anyone will endeavor to do him an injury, unless he fears that a greater injury will thereby accrue to himself; on the other hand, he who loves anyone will, by the same law, seek to benefit him.
