If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution

Summary

This quote, often attributed to American anarchist and feminist Emma Goldman, expresses the belief that any revolutionary movement or cause must also be accompanied by joy and freedom of expression. It suggests that if a movement stifles individuality, creativity, and the ability to enjoy life, then it loses its appeal and becomes a restrictive and oppressive force. It emphasizes the importance of embracing the arts, personal liberation, and the celebration of life within any transformative endeavor.
