Quotes by Lennard J. Davis (?)

“Disability is something imposed on top of our impairments by the way we are unnecessarily isolated and excluded from full participation in society”

“Curiosity is a restless propensity and often does but hurry us forward the more irresistably, the greater is the danger that attends its indulgence.”
― Lennard J. Davis, Obsession: A History

“Disabilities, despite their affinities with beautifiction procedures, are imagined, in contrast, to be random transformations that move the body away from ideal forms. Within the visual economy in which appearance has come to be the primary index of value for women, feminizing practices normalize the female body, while disabilities abnormalize it. Feminization prompts the gaze, while disability prompts the stare. Feminization alterations increase a woman's cultural capital, while disabilities reduce it.”
― Lennard J. Davis, The Disability Studies Reader
