Dancing: The Highest Intelligence in the Freest Body.
My first idea of movement, of the dance, certainly came from the rhythm of the wave.
There are joys so complete, so all perfect, that one should not survive them.
Before I was born my mother was in great agony of spirit and in a tragic situation. She could take no food except iced oysters and champagne. If people ask me when I began to dance, I reply 'In my mother's womb, probably as a result of the oysters and Champagne.'
To dance is to live. What I want is a school of life.
Farewell my friends, I go to glory.
