Kate Magowan famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

Gypsy dance is never just to be dancing. Instead it seems to be a part of an immense and significant non-verbal vocabulary of Gypsy communication and behavior. It is at the heart of an essential transformation, a transcended state, an escape from the realities of their daily lives to a more satisfying state of mind.

I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what I want to do.
To make up a dance, I still need, as I needed then, a pot of tea, walking space, privacy and an idea.
Dancing is such a despised and dishonored trade that if you tell a doctor or a laywer you do choreography he'll look at you as if you were a hummingbird. Dancers don't get invited to visit people. It is assumed a boy dancer will run off with the spoons and a girl with the head of the house.
What's clear - and exciting - is that communication for social change is growing.
We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.
When I was young I thought of friendship as a matter of total loyalty and unchanging preference and I was often disappointed. But as an adult I had come to see that it was more the refraction of some total faithfulness and joy of which we all had some primordial notion. The exchange of trust and the experience of understanding between two people was like a sign or witness to the possibilitity of eternal caring and understanding and communication.
Today, communication itself is the problem. We have become the world's first overcommunicated society. Each year we send more and receive less.
No matter how strong a condom is, it won't protect you from a broken heart.
Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies, But keep your fancy free.
His folly has not fellow Beneath the blue of day That gives to man or woman His heart and soul away.
