Jendayi Frazer famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • Oh, 'tis jesting, dancing, drinking Spins the heavy world around.

  • To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.

  • The choreographic process is exhausting. It happens on one's feet after hours of work, and the energy required is roughly the equivalent of writing a novel and winning a tennis match simultaneously.

  • Modern dancers give a sinister portent about our times.

  • But remember that intent is everything. One does not just jump, one lifts into the air, one rises. In the same way the lifted leg of an arabesque becomes a wing, and not a mechanical leverage like a raised trap door. This is the precise difference between dancing and acrobatics. The dancer tries to express something; the acrobat merely pulls, raises, stretches and grinds. The acrobat is lost in a web of muscles the dancer is all but invisible in projected idea.

  • Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.

  • The purely righteous do not complain of the dark, but increase the light; they do not complain of evil, but increase justice; they do not complain of heresy, but increase faith; they do not complain of ignorance, but increase wisdom.

  • The soul of the slave, the soul of the "little man," is as dear to me as the soul of the great.

  • Life is just a chance to grow a soul.

  • I always loved Sam Cooke, because he seemed very versatile. He sang gospel, soul, blues, pop music
