• Para empezar, retrocedo en el tiempo. Lo retrocedo a ese pintoresco período, los años treinta, cuando la enorme clase media de Estados Unidos se matriculaba en una escuela para ciegos. Sus ojos les habían fallado, o ellos les habían fallado a ellos, y por eso les apretaban los dedos a la fuerza sobre el ardiente alfabeto Braille de una economía en disolución.

• So I was at the gas station the other day, and I saw that there was braille on the pumps. I don't see how they can cater to blind drivers. I mean, there are certain rights you should lose once you lose what makes you a person.

• They dream of men with gentle hands, eloquent with tenderness, fingers that brushed along a cheek, that outlined open lips in the lovers' braille. Hands that sculpted sweetness from sullen flesh, that traced breast and ignited hips, opening, kneading. Flesh becomes bread in the heat of those hands, braided and rising.

• Me sentía permanentemente exiliado de la "normalidad". Ya sea impuesta por uno mismo o por la sociedad, esta condición de marginado -y no la discapacidad en sí- constituye la barrera más desalentadora para la mayoría de las personas con deficiencias físicas, porque, incluso más que los tramos de escaleras o los ascensores sin braille, les impide participar plenamente en el mundo ordinario, donde residen la mayoría de las satisfacciones de la vida.

• Written on the body is a secret code only visible in certain lights: the accumulations of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like Braille. I like to keep my body rolled up away from prying eyes, never unfold too much, or tell the whole story. I didn't know that Louise would have reading hands. She has translated me into her own book.

• When I was young, we thought that Oscar Wilde was a great nobleman who had thrown his life away for love. Nothing could be less true. He slept with East Enders who were procured for him by Lord Alfred Douglas. He knew them only 'in Braille' - the curtains were never drawn back in the rooms in Oxford where he met those boys. It was the most sordid life you can imagine. And he was bleating about love and dragging the fair name of Mr. Plato into the trial - after a life like that?

• Khairani Barokka es una escritora, poeta, artista visual y performer cuyo trabajo tiene una fuerte vena activista, sobre todo en torno a la discapacidad, pero también en su intersección con, por ejemplo, cuestiones de género: ha hecho campaña por los derechos reproductivos en su Indonesia natal, y actualmente estudia un doctorado en discapacidad y culturas visuales en Goldsmiths. Ha escrito un poema narrativo feminista, ecologista y anticolonialista, con ilustraciones táctiles y traducción al braille. ¿Cómo no publicarlo?

• Marlee has said a million times, "Wouldn't it be funny if there was a camera trained on the two of us?" because we get involved in some very interesting situations. We'll be on a plane and she gets handed a Braille menu because they think she is blind, or producers that turn to the director of a show she's on and say, "Marlee Matlin is great, but is she going to be deaf for the whole show?" She used to freak people out with the speaker phone in her car by having me sign what they were saying on the speaker phone and then she would speak herself.

• Government barriers on Business For example, the Endangered Species Act prevents 'disturbing the habitat' of the spotted owl. That has restricted 4.2 million acres of forest from development, leading to the loss of 30,000 lumber-related jobs and the annual loss of 1.1 billion board feet of lumber. This has driven up the cost of houses by at least $4,000 each. In addition, regulators ordered a Kansas City bank to install a Braille keypad on its drive-through automatic teller machine, presumably to aid any blind drivers. The list goes on and on.
