I am seeking that dance which might be the divine expression of the human spirit through the medium of the body's movement.

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

With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.

No flower of art ever fully blossomed save it was nourished by tears of agony.

The Dance of the Future will have to become again a high religious art as it was with the Greeks. For art which is not religious is not art, it is mere merchandise

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

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.
