Famous quotes containing the words social and/or dance:

    What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules—don’t take somebody else’s boyfriend unless you’ve been specifically invited to do so, don’t take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Is that dance slowing in the mind of man
    That made him think the universe could hum?
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
