The Dance - it is the rhythm of all that dies in order to live again; it is the eternal rising of the sun.

One might say that the American trend of education is to reduce the senses almost to nil.

My first idea of movement, of the dance, certainly came from the rhythm of the wave.

My motto - sans limites.

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.

I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.

It is unheard-of, uncivilized barbarism that any woman should still be forced to bear such monstrous torture. It should be remedied. It should be stopped. It is simply absurd that, with our modern science, painless childbirth does not exist as a matter of course.... I tremble with indignation when I think ofthe unspeakable egotism and blindness of men of science who permit such atrocities when they can be remedied.
