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

Movements are as eloquent as words.

No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.

I have only danced my life. As a child I danced the spontaneous joy of growing things. As an adolescent, I danced with joy turning to apprehension of the first realisation of tragic undercurrents; apprehension of the pitiless brutality and crushing progress of life.

These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.

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

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.
