About This Quote
No second chances in the land of a thousand dances, the valley of ten million insanities. This is a quote from the movie Princess Bride. If someone fails on one dance floor, they must go back to the dance floor and try again. They may fail again and again, but they must keep on trying.
What this means is that there are no second chances in the land of a thousand dances (or in the valley of ten million insanities) because if you fall on one dance floor, you must go back to it until you succeed at it. The idea is that there are no second chances in this world so be ready for your world to change.
