So that ends my first experience of matrimony, which I always thought a highly over-rated performance.

Movements are as eloquent as words.

The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of her soul...This is the truly creative dancer, natural but not imitative, speaking in movement out of herself and out of something greater than all selves.

To express what is the most moral, healthful and beautiful in art this is the mission of the dancer, and to this I dedicate my life.

Virtuous people are simply those who have not been tempted sufficiently, because they live in a vegetative state, or because their purposes are so concentrated in one direction that they have not had the leisure to glance around them.

Art is not necessary at all. All that is necessary to make this world a better place to live in is to love - to love as Christ loved, as Buddha loved.

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.
