Famous quotes containing the words dance and/or moves:

    There are those who dance to the rhythm that is played to them, those who only dance to their own rhythm, and those who don’t dance at all.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.
    Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
