Dances Quotations

I am the 'Cosmic Dancer' who dances his way out of the womb and into the tomb on 'Electric Warrior.' I'm not frightened to get up there and groove about in front of six million people on TV because it doesn't look cool. That's the way I would do it at home.

When you think of blues, all you think about is crying guitar like B.B. King's guitar. You think about someone crying that their woman's gone. And how bad life is and all that.

Life is fury, he'd thought. Fury sexual, Oedipal, political, magical, brutal drives us to our finest heights and coarsest depths. Out of furia comes creation, inspiration, originality, passion, but also violence, pain, pure unafraid destruction, the giving and receiving of blows from which we never recover. The Furies pursue us; Shiva dances his furious dance to create and also to destroy. But never mind about gods! Sara ranting at him represented the human spirit in its purest, least socialized form. This is what we are, what we civilize ourselves to disguise the terrifying human animal in us, the exalted, transcendent, self-destructive, untramelled lord of creation.

I can't speak for Jan Harder, but what I would say is the best thing for people who are not sure is to see for themselves what the upper deck is like and have fun. We can't just stop having contests. You could say (we'll have) the best dance contest. Well, what if somebody dances the wrong way? The thing is toga is fun and it's creative, and it fits the college theme of the next game because it is college freshman week (at both Ottawa universities).

Whoever is admitted or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners, is never respected there, but only made use of. We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.

These are children who continually drop their bottles or sippy cups because their sweaty palms won't allow them to maintain a good grip.

We also hung out at what was then Conley Rayne's (now Rayne's Reef) in Berlin, and there was roller skating parties and sock hop dances at church hall, too, ... By today's standards, our kids and grandkids might think we had a boring time, but it was wonderful.
