Famous quotes containing the words century, concert and/or dance:

    “When the bond of love broke,
    the respect born of affection withered,
    good feelings fled,
    and that man walked before me
    like any other,
    Good Friend,
    I imagine all this,
    think on days gone by
    and wonder why
    my heart hasn’t cracked
    into a hundred bits.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think.... This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.”
    —René Daumal (1908–1944)

    “Ah, it is sweet on the hills,
    to dance in sacred faun-pelt,
    to dance until one falls faint,
    to beat the sacred dance-beat
    until one drops down
    worn out.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
