I try to think about how I’ll feel about that choice when I’m 80,
propped up on a feather bed eating chocolate truffles for breakfast
and reminiscing about my wild youth.”

“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 time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium
. . . the world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is,
nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open, and to live it.”
- Martha Graham
“I work hard. But I hate hard workers.
Things must appear to be casual. You have to be serious, but don’t flaunt it.

but she always exuded frivolity, not taking anything seriously, impervious to circumstance.
It is like being political:
Be so, but don’t go on about it.”
– Karl Lagerfeld
“We should be great,
each one of us radiant,
full of music and full of stories!”
