Famous quotes containing the words early and/or dancers:
“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Proclaiming what choices there are
For the last dancers of their kind,
For ill women and for all slaves
Of death,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
