Quotes About Dancing

There was dancing on the canvas in the garden; oöd men pushing young girls backwards in eternal graceless circles, superior couples holding each other tortuously, fashionably, and keeping in the corners - and a great number of single girls dancing individualistically or relieving the orchestra for a moment of the burden of the banjo of the traps.

What is a secret? It is much more than knowledge shared with only a few, or perhaps only one another. It is power. It is a bond. It is a sign of deep trust, or the darkest threat possible....

Be even more careful of sharing your secrets lest you find yourself a puppet dancing on someone else's strings.

What do you fucking think?
~ Lorrie Moore
