With every friend I’ve known, in every situation I’ve encountered, I have found something to learn. - Sonia Sotomayor

It would take me most of my life to feel remotely put together, and it’s still an effort.

I scheduled the lessons, rolled up the carpet and committed myself to learning salsa. No longer would I sit there like a potted plant watching others on the floor. The gawky uncoordinated Sonia would make peace with herself in motion.

...you cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true. The real value is in stirring within us the will to aspire.
