Pithy but profound nuggets of big-picture wisdom can give anyone direction, courage, and inspiration."

My Review
I love quotes...I have since I was in high school. Every notebook I owned was either covered in quotes, had quote stickers, or was a collection of quotes in itself. My 13 year old sister is much the same now. When I was contacted about the book "Dance First. Think Later." I was very excited! I knew that this would be an enjoyable book for both of us, and it has been! There are quotes by well-known people as well as some I had never heard of, but all of the quotes were great. I like to pick this book up when I'm having a frustrating moment and read a few random quotes. It never fails to make me laugh (usually at myself)! This would be a great gift book for any quote lover, graduate, newlywed, etc. These qoutes focus on things that everyone has faced or will face at some point in their life.
