Farewell my friends, I go to glory.

I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years

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

When I was sixteen, I danced before an audience without music. At the end someone suddenly cried 'its Death and the Maiden'. But that was not my intention; I was only endeavoring to express my first knowledge of the underlying tragedy in all seemingly joyous manifestation. The dance according with my comprehension, should have been called 'Life and the Maiden'.

The real American type can never be a ballet dancer. The legs are too long, the body too supple and the spirit too free for this school of affected grace and toe walking.

It is only in romances that people undergo a sudden metamorphosis. In real life, even after the most terrible experiences, the main character remains exactly the same.

Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.
