...life would be a mistake.
That's a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche, the famous German Philosopher (1844-1900). It turns out that he had quite a few philosophical things to say about music, and interestingly also about dance. Here are some of those quotes...
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer.
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Another of Neitzsche's many quotes was "What does not destroy me makes me stronger". Given those music and dance quotes above, it's fascinating that the stronger quote has itself materialised as paraphrased in pop title and lyrics.....What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger), Kelly Clarkson (2011).
