Dance Quotes (page 17)

It is interesting that Hindus, when they speak of the creation of the universe do not call it the work of God, they call it the play of God, the Vishnu lila, lila meaning play. And they look upon the whole manifestation of all the universes as a play, as a sport, as a kind of dance? lila perhaps being somewhat related to our word lilt Alan Watts
Voltaire quote: "Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never..."
Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world. Voltaire
He stared up at the stars: and it seemed to him then that they were dancers, stately and graceful, performing a dance almost infinite in its complexity. Neil Gaiman
Emily Giffin quote: "You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end, You'll..."

Paul Valery quote: "Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking."
Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking. Paul Valery
A carnival in daylight is an unfinished beast, anyway. Rain makes it a ghost. The wheezing music from the empty, motionless rides in a soggy, rained-out afternoon midway always hit my chest with a sweet ache. The colored dance of lights in the seeping air flashed the puddles in the sawdust with an oily glamour. Katherine Dunn
Don Marquis quote: "There’s a dance in the old dame yet."
There’s a dance in the old dame yet. Don Marquis
But when they began handing out doctorates for comparative folk dancing and advanced fly-fishing, I became too stink in’ proud to use the title. I won’t touch watered whiskey and I take no pride in watered-down degrees. Robert A. Heinlein
But here there was only hot swing music and liquor, dance halls, ban, and movies, and sex that hung in the gloom like a chandelier and flooded the world with brief, deceptive rainbows. Tennessee Williams
George R. R. Martin quote: "The white horse and the black one wheeled like lovers at a..."
The white horse and the black one wheeled like lovers at a harvest dance, the riders throwing steel in place of kisses. George R. R. Martin
They moved in dance steps too intricate for the noninitiated eye to imitate or understand. Clearly they were of one soul. Handsome, rangy, wildly various, they were bound in total loyalty, not by oath, but by the simple, unquestioning belongingness of part of one organism. Louise Erdrich
Jane Austen quote: "Do not you feel a great inclination, Miss Bennet, to seize..."
Do not you feel a great inclination, Miss Bennet, to seize such an opportunity of dancing a reel? Jane Austen
Baby you're the only light I ever saw. I make the most of all the sadness, you be a bitch because you can. You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty 'cause you can't understand. We're going down and you could see it to....we're slow dancing in a burning room!!! John Mayer
Writers imagine that they cull stories from the world. I'm beginning to believe that vanity makes them think so. That it's actually the other way around. Stories cull writers from the world. Stories reveal themselves to us. The public narrative, the private narrative - they colonize us. They commission us. They insist on being told. Fiction and nonfiction are only different techniques of story telling. For reasons that I don't fully understand, fiction dances out of me, and nonfiction is... Arundhati Roy
I see what you think of me,' said he, gravely; 'I shall make but a poor figure in your journal to-morrow.'My journal!'Yes; I know exactly what you will say:- Friday went to the Lower Rooms; wore my sprigged muslin robe with blue trimmings- plain black shoes- appeared to much advantage; but was strangely harassed by a queer, half-witted man, who would make me dance with him, and distressed me by his nonsense. Jane Austen
