Someone Said...

So, I stole this idea from Lindsay's blog. It's a list of my favorite quotes-in no particular order. Some of them don't have an author, but they're still good nonetheless.

  • "Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despite to forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that in a years time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings. To great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings." -Andre Maurois, Writer
  • "Those who bring light and sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves."-J.M. Barrie, writer
  • I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living.... In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. ~Martha Graham, c.1953
  • "Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." -St. Augustine
  • "I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing." -Agatha Christie, writer
  • "The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next."-Mignon McLaughlin
  • "There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them."-Vicki Baum
  • "Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there."-Josh Billings
  • "Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
  • "All you really need is that one person to trust. That one person you know will always tell you, "Everything will be alright..." and somehow, for some reason, you always believe them."
  • "Her favorite song will tell you more about her than her mouth ever will."
  • "A dancer dances until it hurts, a real dancer dances through the pain."
  • "Behind my smile is everything you'll never understand."
  • "Next time you're mad, try dancing out your anger."-Sweetpea Tyler
Well, there you go. Just some of my many favorites, who knows-there may be a part 2 of this in the future.
