Princesses Quotations

When I was very young, I wanted to be a girl. I was jealous that girls got to be princesses and wear skirts. It tormented me.

Ballet is just a vocabulary like English. Most classical ballets emphasize how high a woman can hold her leg, how skinny she is and all the tricks she can do.

I remember meeting the princesses at Disney World and getting their autographs.

...perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
