More From Octavio Paz

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.
Dance Dream Art
The abyss is full of reality, the abyss experiences itself, the abyss is alive.
Reality Alive Abyss
She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears; she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
Dance Stars Flower
I don't even think of myself as a quote, unquote star - that's really douchey. i think of myself as just like . . . a dance commander. you have to have dance parties all day and night, and you always have to be excited about having a dance party. you have to have a dance party in milan one day, and then wake up and have a dance party at, like, four in the morning on national television in l.a. the next day. the hours are insane.
Morning Party Night
Dance, when you're broken open. dance, if you've torn the bandage off. dance in the middle of the fighting. dance in your blood. dance when you're perfectly free.
Inspirational Dance Spiritual
I am reminded of a story of lord krishna when he was a cowherd. every night he invites the milkmaids to dance with him in the forest. they come and they dance. the night is dark, the fire in their midst roars and crackles, the beat of the music gets ever faster - the girls dance and dance and dance with their sweet lord, who has made himself so abundant as to be in the arms of each and every girl. but the moment the girls become possessive, the moment each one imagines that krishna is her partner alone, he vanishes. so it is that we should not be jealous of god.

I can have a song with ariana grande that is going to be the song for all the kids and the teen girls, and then another song that could be for a different group of people who all love the song. im with whoever. whatever type of people want to love the music and whatever they love about the music is fine with me.

Feminism … i think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that marlo thomas sang, 'free to be you and me.' free to be, if you were a girl—doctor, lawyer, indian chief. anything you want to be. and if you’re a boy, and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, that’s ok too. that notion that we should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriers—manmade barriers, certainly not heaven sent.
Girl Song Teaching
We must uncover our rituals for what they are: completely arbitrary things, tied to our bourgeois way of life; it isgood-and that is the real theater-totranscend them in the manner of play, bymeans of games and irony; it is good to be dirty and bearded, to have long hair,to look like a girl when one is a boy (and vice versa); one must put "inplay," show up, transform and reversethe systems which quietly order us about.
Girl Real Dirty
When you see a girl like me bustin' perps, there ain't no time to be pretty.
