However well organised the foundations of life may be, life must always be full of risks.

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.

All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution.

The aesthetic pleasure of dance is a secondary reflection of the primary, vital joy of courtship.

All arguments are meaningless until we gain personal experience. One must win one's own place in the spiritual world painfully and alone. There is no other way of salvation. The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a wilderness.

Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.

Beauty is the child of love.
