Helpless Dancer

Famous quotes containing the words helpless and/or dancer:

    Thus, with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,
    Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:
    Fool! said my muse to me, look in thy heart, and write.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    Not fat but the greatest possible suppleness and strength is what a good dancer wants from his nourishment—and I could not even guess what the spirit of a philosopher might wish to be more than a good dancer. For dance is his ideal, and also his art, and finally also his only piety, his “service to God.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
