“I just want to get to the places I can't get in the wheelchair, you know? I want to stand up.”

“I have so much work to do every day to get back to my normal life that I can't afford to be angry, even at the bombers. I can't keep looking backward.”

“I wish I wasn't the face of the victims - three lost near the finish line and hundreds injured - because then everyone would forget about me, and I could recover in peace, and at my own pace.”

“My mom always taught me to stand up for what I believe in.”

“If you don't have anything to stand up for, you fall for everything.”

“The truth is, women don't stand up, they're too hushed, they don't like to say stuff.”
