“Because it engages the mind, Pilates generates an electrical impulse or a chemical in the nervous system that we register as enjoyment. These impulses and chemicals cause the brain to crave a repeat performance, and that is the stuff that creates addiction. You think you are addicted to an activity, but in fact you are addicted to the chemical by-product of that activity. You become your own drug dealer.”
― John Howard Steel, Caged Lion: Joseph Pilates and His Legacy

“It’s unpredictable, this stage of grief. Just when you think you have a handle on it, a crack opens up where the crazy gets in. The pain is a weather system that builds and expands, occasionally touching down, like lightning. If you have ever thrown your back out while brushing your teeth, you’re familiar with the sensation.”

“How come you didn’t see the great wheel of the world and find a different spoke?”

“I hang up the phone. I don’t have time for this lack of vision.”
