"O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we know the dancer from the dance?"
- William Butler Yeats, "Among School Children"
"Any problem in the world can be solved by dancing."
- James Brown
"You've gotta' dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth. (And speak from the heart to be heard.)"
- William W. Purkey
