Lambert Hillyer,
The Shock
(1923)
“ It isn't what you were, but what you are, that counts!" "You mean a man's past doesn't count?—that there's always a chance—a chance to be something....different?" "We can be anything we want—if the thought is right, and the will is behind the thought." "In spite of everything?" "What do you mean by...everything?" "I'm a cripple—do you believe any amount of thinking can make me anything else?" "Stranger things have happened—life without hope would be unbearable." ”
