Oliver Sacks Quote
When I visited Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., (it is the only university in the world for deaf and hearing-impaired students) and talked about the hearing impaired, one of the deaf students signed, Why don’t you look at yourself as sign impaired?4 It was a very interesting turning of the tables, because there were hundreds of students all conversing in sign, and I was the mute one who could understand nothing and communicate nothing, except through an interpreter.
