People don't live nowadays: they get about ten percent out of life.

All my lovers have been geniuses; it's the one thing that I insist.

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

Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart; it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.

The only dance masters I could have were Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Walt Whitman and Nietzsche.

If I could say it, I would not have to dance it.

Many women to whom I have preached the doctrine of freedom have weakly replied, 'But who is to support the children?' It seems to me that if the marriage ceremony is needed as a protection to insure the enforced support of children, then you are marrying a man who, you suspect, would under certain conditions, refuse to support his children, and it is a pretty low-down proposition. For you are marrying a man whom you already suspect of being a villain. But I have not so poor an opinion of men that I believe the greater percentage of them to be such low specimens of humanity.
