Famous quotes containing the words dance music, hot, dance and/or music:
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Is your blood
So madly hot that no discourse of reason,
Nor fear of bad success in a bad cause,
Can qualify the same?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The girl who can’t dance says the band can’t play.”
—Yiddish proverb.

—Maria Jeritza (1887–1982)
