Famous quotes containing the words dance and/or fever:
“If I’m on skates, I feel at home no matter what I’m doing. If they wanted me to sing and dance I think I could do it just because I was on skates. When I’m not on skates, though, I feel very strange.”
—Dorothy Hamill (b. 1956)
“When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked.... In other words, I don’t improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
