“Every perversion has survived many tests of its capabilities.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“In song and dance man expresses himself as a member of a higher community: he has forgotten how to walk and speak and is on the way toward flying up into the air, dancing.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“When toddlers are unable to speak about urgent matters, they must resort to crying or screaming. This happens even with adults.

—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
