You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.

I can hardly express in words my deep feeling and sympathy for them knowing as I do the many serious handicaps and obstacles that will confront them in almost every walk of life.

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.

Anyone who has to fight even with the most modern weapons against an enemy in complete command of the air fights like a savage against modern European troops under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success.

In politics stupidity is not a handicap.

Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary it means accepting it as it comes with all the handicaps of heredity of suffering of psychological complexes and injustices.

A lawyer who does not know men is handicapped.

I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100 000 elevator.
