Know that there is so much more to you than your body. It's not just about perfecting the steps you must trust your instincts to tell deep, emotional stories through the steps that you are performing.

If a man owns land, the land owns him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or your rudder be broken you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a stand still in mid-seas.For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and a passion unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; and let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily ressurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.

Kahlil Gibran

Here is the tragedy: when you are the victim of depression, not only do you feel utterly helpless and abandoned by the world, you also know that very few people can understand, or even begin to believe, that life can be this painful. There is nothing I can think of that is quite as isolating as this.

Giles Andreae

If I made a list of the people I admire, Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything.

Patsy Cline

The antagonism between life and conscience may be removed in two ways: by a change of life or by a change of conscience.

Leo Tolstoy

I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success.

Wilbur Wright

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

Carl Sagan

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

George Bernard Shaw

The basic idea is that all things in the universe are intertwined.

Stephen Richards

That little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.

Sojourner Truth

It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.

Bertolt Brecht

There's a point of poverty at which the spirit isn't with the body all the time. It finds the body really too unbearable. So it's almost as if you were talking to the soul itself. And a soul's not properly responsible.

LouisFerdinand Celine
