in the end

"in the end you are always more tormented by what you didn't do than what you did, actions already performed can always be rationalized in time, the neglected deed might have changed the world."

- In a Strange Room, by Damon Galgut

on dance and dancers

"Dancers (and choreographers) are perhaps the most fragile of artists, knowing that their work will not only not outlive them, but will not even outlive that performance on that evening, in that theater and in that city. At best their work exists as a memory - and we all know how reliable that is. a dancer will never even see himself, or herself, dance."

- writer Toni Bentley
