#stammer

What has influenced my life more than any other single thing has been my stammer. Had I not stammered I would probably... have gone to Cambridge as my brothers did, perhaps have become a don and every now and then published a dreary book about French literature. ↗

The stammer was a way of telling the world that he was not like others, a way of expressing his singularity. ↗
