“Being a woman seemed to mean listening to the music boys liked and neither dancing nor singing along.”
“DNA neither cares nor knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.”
“At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.”
“...the music seems creepy, like when children sing in a horror movie”
“Those intellectuals are our natural enemies; the only kind who are worth anything are the musicians and the dancers: they don’t insult anybody with their performances, and they neither sing nor dance politics. So I like them; but don’t let me hear a word about the rest”
“My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.”
