“For five years of my life, I was just getting by - every day was painf...” — Lauren Wasser Quote

“For five years of my life, I was just getting by - every day was painful. I couldn't wear heels, I couldn't run, and I could only walk for, like, 20 minutes. That's not living.”

“I'm an athlete - my legs were everything. I had no idea what my life would be like without them.”

“Every time I turn on the TV, it infuriates me. You'll see an ad for Advil or Viagra and hear some monotonous voice warn you about even the smaller side effects like headaches or nausea. When you see a tampon commercial, it's all happy teenage girls running along the beach in bikinis. The dangers are beyond minimized.”

“High heels are pleasure with pain.”

“I can be an incredibly fabulous person, and I don't have to be in the highest heels, the tallest wig, the skimpiest outfit.”

“I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.”
