Voltaire

I think you have to pay for love with bitter tears.

Edith Piaf

Kahlil Gibran

The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.

Isadora Duncan
