The modern dance is no dance in the first place, and when you've finally learned it, it's not modern any more.

Evan Esar

Audacity augments courage; hesitation, fear.

Publilius Syrus

The new school of art and thought does indeed wear an air of audacity, and breaks out everywhere into blasphemies, as if it required any courage to say a blasphemy. There is only one thing that it requires real courage to say, and that is a truism.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

I got the part [in Into the Forest], I started taking ballet again to try to regain my strength back. I actually love that it was changed to Crystal Pite's modern dance. And I wouldn't even really call it modern dance because it feels like it's in its own genre.

Evan Rachel Wood

Modern physics had shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction is not only manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the birth and death of living creatures, but is also the very essence of inorganic matter. For modern physicists...Shiva's dance is the dance of subatomic matter.

Fritjof Capra

Audacity, more audacity, always audacity.

Georges Jacques Danton

Audacity, and again, audacity, and always audacity.

Georges Danton

Mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity.

Paulo Coelho

Audacity isn't the absence of uncertainty and ambiguity. Audacity is believing that God's promise is bigger than my 'perhaps'

Steven Furtick

Audacity, always audacity - soundest principal of strategy.

Robert A. Heinlein

I enjoy the freedom of modern dance as well as the constraints of classical dance.

Deborah Bull

I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.

Nastassja Kinski

My background is in modern dance. I was a dancer and a choreographer before I was a director, and in dance, you can't cheat. Your leg goes up in the air, or it doesn't. So when I direct, I'm a big preparer.

Lesli Linka Glatter

Audacity, audacity, always audacity.

George S. Patton

We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.
