Dancer Archive

I have always had an unhealthy interest in quotations. Here are a few, when thought of in context with SWG which can be quite humorous and in some cases inspirational.

Hope you all enjoy them, feel free to add some of you own...

On Dancing:

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. - Angela Monèt

Dance is a little insanity that does us all a lot of good. - Edward Demby

While I dance I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole. That is why I dance. - Hans Bos

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life, it is life itself. - Havelock Ellis

Dancing: The Highest Intelligence in the Freest Body. - Isadora Duncan

Any problem in the world can be solved by dancing. - James Brown

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking. - Agnes De Mille

I have always loved quotes. Here are a couple, which when thought of in context of SWG can be both humorous and inspirational

Hope you enjoy them. Feel free to add a few of you own...

On Musicians:

We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea breakers, And sitting by desolate streams. World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and the shakers Of the world forever, it seems. - Arthur O' Shaughnessy

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. - Berthold Auerbach

Since music is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man. - Claude Levi Strauss

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. - Henry David Thoreau

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest. - Henry David Thoreau

Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable. - Leonard Bernstein

You don't need any brains to listen to music. - Luciano Pavarotti

The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly.... Music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees. - Andrés Segovia

On Entertainers:

The truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. Bodies never lie. - Agnes De Mille

There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish. - Warren G. Bennis
