My first idea of movement, of the dance, certainly came from the rhythm of the wave.

It is unheard-of, uncivilized barbarism that any woman should still be forced to bear such monstrous torture. It should be remedied. It should be stopped. It is simply absurd that, with our modern science, painless childbirth does not exist as a matter of course.... I tremble with indignation when I think ofthe unspeakable egotism and blindness of men of science who permit such atrocities when they can be remedied.

We may not all break the Ten Commandments, but we are certainly all capable of it. Within us lurks the breaker of all laws, ready to spring out at the first real opportunity.

The Dance - it is the rhythm of all that dies in order to live again; it is the eternal rising of the sun.

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

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