Knee Quotations

My knee is as strong as it was before, if not stronger, and it's a matter of getting my leg strong. I lost six years of strength in about six month's time, so it's going to take another year or two to get that leg back up to full strength, but I'm good to go so far.
Picabo Street

Bill Gates

I screwed my knee up once because I fell off the stage.
Zakk Wylde

Frank A. Clark
