Quotes
I grew up under Communism so we could only learn Russian, and then when Communismfell in 1989 we could learn a few more things and have the freedom to travel and the freedom of speech - and the freedom of dreaming, really.
I can dance for, like, four or five hours nonstop without even drinking water. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
We cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness.
So, we have choice, and sometimes it seems very hard, but the best way to heal physically or emotionally is to keep positive.
