Life is for Dancing


In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.

--George Balanchine

"Breadbaking is one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells...there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread."
M. F. K. Fisher

“To feel safe and warm on a cold wet night, all you really need is soup.”

--Laurie Colwin
