Living is a
form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The
moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist
never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take
leap after leap in the dark.
-- Agnes De Mille
1905-1993, American Dancer,

Life is
constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even
when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is
no such thing as frozen assets.
-- Henry Miller
1891-1980, American Author
Life moves on,
whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other
discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to
accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to,
everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate
or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems
nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,
and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a
golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as
such.
-- Henry Miller
1891-1980, American Author
Life is a
tough proposition and the first hundred years are the

The art of
