Famous quotes containing the words dancing and/or master:

    “Not dancing but nearly risen
    Through barnlike, theatrelike houses
    On the winds of the buck and wing.”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “There appears to be but two grand master passions or movers in the human mind, namely, love and pride. And what constitutes the beauty or deformity of a man’s character is the choice he makes under which banner he determines to enlist himself. But there is a strong distinction between different degress in the same thing and a mixture of two contraries.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
