Scan Quotes - BrainyQuote

The thing that's depressing is teaching graduate students today and discovering that they don't know simple elemental facts of grammar.

And they're in graduate school! Maxine Kumin

Today, Alone, Simple, School, Lie, Facts

Guy Pearce

Character, Energy, Calm, I Can, Kind, Go

Nature, Together, Mind, Brain, Painting

Hope, Training, Move On, My Own, See

Happiness, Myself, People, Me, I Can, Up

One has to learn to say, 'Wait, there is a pain that is not logical. I will do a scan, and if there is something serious, I will stop immediately.' If the body sends a message, you have to listen to it. Sylvie Guillem

Pain, Body, You, Wait, Serious, Learn

Morning, Sports, New York, Door, New
