“None of us can help the things life has done to us. They鈥檙e done before you realize it, and once they鈥檙e done they make you do other things until at last everything comes between you and what you鈥檇 like to be, and you鈥檝e lost your true self forever.”
― Long Day鈥檚 Journey into Night

“Why am I afraid to dance, I who love music and rhythm and grace and song and laughter? Why am I afraid to live, I who love life and the beauty of flesh and the living colors of the earth and sky and sea? Why am I afraid to love, I who love love?”
