It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. --Ralph Waldo Emerson--Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can. --Martha Graham--You are unique, and if that is not fulfilled, then something has been lost. --Martha Graham--There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. --Martha Graham--The body is a sacred garment. The body says what words cannot.The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body --Martha Graham--We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. --Martha Graham--I'm asked so often at ninety-six whether I believe in life after death. I do believe in the sanctity of life, the continuity of life and of energy. I know the anonimity of death has no appeal for me. It is the now that I must face and want to face. --Martha Graham--
