Famous quotes containing the words dancing and/or queen:
“Once you are dancing with the devil, the prettiest capers won’t help you.”

“I know of the sleepy country, where swans fly round
Coupled with golden chains, and sing as they fly.
A king and a queen are wandering there, and the sound
Has made them so happy and hopeless, so deaf and so blind
With wisdom, they wander till all the years have gone by....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
