You have the mainstream bourgeois life of the U.S., Europe, the "developed" world - the life of technology, education, mortgages, careers, a certain level of physical comfort - while on the other hand, several billion people on the planet exist on less than a dollar a day. That's a huge and terrible reality to get your head around. — Ben Fountain
The Alexander Technique gives us all things we have been looking for in a system of physical education: relief from strain due to maladjustment, and constant improvement in physical and mental health. We cannot ask for more from any system; nor, if we seriously desire to alter human beings in a desirable direction, can we ask for any less. — Aldous Huxley

Just as we teach our children how to ride a bike, we need to teach them how to navigate social media and make the right moves that will help them.

I believe that dance is the oldest, noblest and most cogent of the arts. I believe that dance is the most perfect symbol of the activity of God and His angels.

We are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most vulnerable section of society.

We feel ashamed. Angry. Appalled. But there is no action...No action. — Michael Jackson
