This is a famous quote by I. King Jordan, a former Gallaudet University President. However hearing people in businesses tend to back off at the instant when they see there could be a 'communication problem.' They think time is money and they get uncomfortable and prefer someone else to work for them. This quote is turned off by the Deaf community. The painter's blue tape cross off the 'EXCEPT HEAR' becomes DEAF PEOPLE CAN DO ANYTHING.
