The wind? I am the wind. The sea and the moon? I am the sea and the moon. Tears, pain, love, bird-flights? I am all of them. I dance what I am. Sin, prayer, flight, the light that never was on land or sea? I dance what I am.

The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.

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

If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it

Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.

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