To awaken human emotion is the highest level of art.

All my life I have struggled to make one authentic gesture.

Most human beings today waste some 25 to 30 years of their lives before they break through the actual and conventional lies which surround them.

So long as little children are allowed to suffer, there is no true love in this world.

My art is just an effort to express the truth of my being in gesture and movement. It has taken me long years to find even one absolutely true movement.

I had learned to have a perfect nausea for the theatre: the continual repetition of the same words and the same gestures, night after night, and the caprices, the way of looking at life, and the entire rigmarole disgusted me.

The dancer of the future will be one whose body & soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of the soul will have become the movement of the body.
