Yellow Be Gone

“Black spirits and white, red spirits and gray,/
Mingle, mingle, mingle, you that mingle may!”
Thomas Middleton 1580-1627

This quote refers to a witch’s chant which she performs while stirring her witch’s brew.

Short-cut

“There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.”
Vicki Baum 1888-1960

And a conga line is a short-cut to dancing.

The Average Man

“The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him
than he is in a woman with beautiful legs.”
Marlene Dietrich 1901-1992

Not that there’s anything wrong with a beautiful leg.
