What contexts do these knees quotes cover?
Religious devotion, philosophical defiance, a cancer survivor's resilience, and the very literal discomfort of cramped airplane seating, knees show up here in both figurative and physical senses.
Why do people search for quotes about knees?

One quote says cancer 'brought me to my feet' instead of to the knees, what's the significance of that phrasing?

Are any of these quotes literal rather than figurative?
Yes, one simply complains about knees hitting the chin in economy seating on long flights, a purely physical use of the word with no symbolic weight at all.

It swings from reverent, as with the saint trembling before Satan, to defiant, as with the cancer line, to mildly annoyed about legroom in Business class, knees turn out to be a surprisingly versatile image.
