Dance Double

Famous quotes containing the words dance and/or double:

    “And because I am happy, & dance & sing,
    They think they have done me no injury,
    And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King,
    Who make up a heaven of our misery.”
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.
    Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
