You can win as often as you like. But you can only lose once. Then it's the end for you. And you will lose.

She was beautiful, as beautiful as a dream.

My body no longer belonged to me. My arms, my legs, my head, all moved wildly over the dance floor unconnected to my thoughts. I gave myself to the dance, and all the while I could hear distinctly the transit of the stars, the shifting of the tides, the racing of the wind. This was truly what it meant to dance.
