You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out.

Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it.

To me, this acquirement of nervous, physical, and emotional concentration is the one element possessed to the highest degree by the truly great dancers of the world. Its acquirement is the result of discipline, of energy in the deep sense. That is why there are so few great dancers.

I did not choose to be a dancer. I was chosen.

I am certain that movement never lies. There is only one law of posture I have been able to discover - the perpendicular line connecting heaven and earth.

Every dance is a kind of fever chart, a graph of the heart.

We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.
