Blues Dancing

Famous quotes containing the words blues and/or dancing:

    As one delves deeper and deeper into Etiquette, disquieting thoughts come. That old Is- It-Worth-It Blues starts up again softly, perhaps, but plainly. Those who have mastered etiquette, who are entirely, impeccably right, would seem to arrive at a point of exquisite dullness. The letters and the conversations of the correct, as quoted by Mrs. Post, seem scarcely worth the striving for. The rules for finding topics of conversation fall damply on the spirit.
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    My Mama has made bread
    and Grampaw has come
    and everybody is drunk
    and dancing in the kitchen
    Lucille Clifton (b. 1936)
