Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire

Summary

This quote highlights how dancing can transform and elevate personal desires into a multi-dimensional art form. By being a "perpendicular expression," it suggests that dancing transcends mere physicality or reproduction of a desire in a horizontal manner. Instead, dancing brings depth and verticality to these desires, allowing individuals to communicate and showcase their emotions, aspirations, and creative energy through movement. Dancing becomes a means to express something deeper and more profound, extending beyond the simplicity of satisfying a basic desire and embracing the complexity of human expression.

Because never in my entire childhood did I feel like a child

Because never in my entire childhood did I feel like a child. I felt like a person all along--the same person that I am today. I never felt that I spoke childishly. I never felt that my emotions and desires were somehow less real than adult emotions and desires. And in writing _Ender's Game_, I forced the audience to experience the lives of these children from that perspective--the perspective in which their feelings and decisions are just as real and important as any adult's. ... _Ender's Game_ asserts the personhood of children, and those who are used to thinking of children in another way ... are going to find _Ender's Game_ a very unpleasant place to live.
