Ability Quote by Patrick Henry Hughes

“I see blindness more as an ability and sight more as a disability because there are some people with sight who tend to judge others by what they see on the outside but I don't see that. I don't see the skin color, the hair style or the clothing people wear; I only see that which is within a person.” quote by Patrick Henry Hughes
