“Paula, your retirement is the one that every athlete dreams.”

“A dream will fly
The moment that you open up your eyes.
A dream is just a riddle,
Ghosts from every corner of your life.”

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.”

“During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams”

“Retire to the center of your being, which is calmness.”

“When you're retired, you get into your routines and other people, even so-called loved ones, become a strain.”

“For it is in your power to retire into yourself whenever you choose.”

“There is no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there is no end to it.”

“After all the words are said,
after all the dreams we made;
every one a precious one,
every one a summer sun…”

“May all your dreams but one come true, for what is life without a dream?”
