Dance Lifts

Famous quotes containing the words dance and/or lifts:

“We are close to dead. There are faces and bodies like gorged maggots on the dance floor, on the highway, in the city, in the stadium; they are a host of chemical machines who swallow the product of chemical factories, aspirin, preservatives, stimulant, relaxant, and breathe out their chemical wastes into a polluted air. The sense of a long last night over civilization is back again.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

“Where the slow river
meets the tide,
a red swan lifts red wings
and darker beak.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
