In my 20s I was such a serious, boring-looking person. I would never do my nails. I never even danced. But I was taught by the women. They had gone through hell, but they would dance and sing. I came to realise I can't argue for a happy world if I am not happy myself.

It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.
