“I tend the wounded,/and in the tending, wound./Sometimes truly seeing another/is lethal./Loving fully, a bayonet.”

“Oh, the best dancers know/what grace/every stumble/contains.”

“Cast off everything/everyone else has known for you./Move gratefully, from these old skins./And this time, if you toughen,/decide/for whom?”

“Don't itch the itch feel the itch”

“After something bad happens, don't stand there and stare at something, stand there and do something”

“True strength cannot be measured by physical means, but by the determination to strive in your darkest hour.”

“Happiness is a strange thing. It is something I tend to recognize only after it has passed, when I realize I miss it.”
