Gentleman Dancing Master

Famous quotes containing the words gentleman, dancing and/or master:

    “There was a young lady of Joppa
    Who came a society cropper.

    “Not dancing but nearly risen
    Through barnlike, theatrelike houses
    On the winds of the buck and wing.”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “[Women’s] apparent endorsement of male supremacy is ... a pathetic striving for self- respect, self-justification, and self-pardon. After fifteen hundred years of subjection to men, Western woman finds it almost unbearable to face the fact that she has been hoodwinked and enslaved by her inferiors—that the master is lesser than the slave.”
    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
