Movements are as eloquent as words.

If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!

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.

I intend to work for this dance of the future. I do not know whether I have the necessary qualities; I may have neither genius nor talent nor temperament. But I know that I have a Will; and will and energy sometimes prove greater than either genius or talent or temperament.

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 discovered that love might be a pastime as well as a tragedy, and I gave myself to it with pagan innocence.

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