Jose Limon quotes
-
“I saw the dance as a vision of ineffable power. A man could, with dignity and a towering majesty, dance. Not mince, cavort, do "fancy dancing" or "showoff" steps. No: Dance as Michelangelo's visions dance and as the music of Bach dances.”
-- Jose Limon -
“If words were adequate to describe fully what the dance can do, there would be no reason for all the mighty muscular effort, the discomfort, the sweat and the splendors of that art.”
-- Jose Limon
-
“Oh, 'tis jesting, dancing, drinking Spins the heavy world around.”
-
“Happy, happy, happy for all that God hath done, Glad of all the little leaves dancing in the sun.”
Source : Alfred Noyes (1911). “Drake. The enchanted island. New poems”
-
“Of what use is a dream if not a blueprint for courageous action.”
