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

I preach freedom of the mind through freedom of the body; women, for example - out of the prison of corsets.

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.

Many women to whom I have preached the doctrine of freedom have weakly replied, 'But who is to support the children?' It seems to me that if the marriage ceremony is needed as a protection to insure the enforced support of children, then you are marrying a man who, you suspect, would under certain conditions, refuse to support his children, and it is a pretty low-down proposition. For you are marrying a man whom you already suspect of being a villain. But I have not so poor an opinion of men that I believe the greater percentage of them to be such low specimens of humanity.

Dancing: The Highest Intelligence in the Freest Body.

To dance is to live. What I want is a school of life.

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