Inspirational Quotes from Inspirational People

"I love dancing. I think it's better to dance than to march through life." - Yoko Ono

“The greatest hazard of all . . . losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss – an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. – is sure to be noticed.” - Sören Kierkegaard
