Art is eternal for it reveals the inner landscape which is the soul of man.

What people in the world think of you is really none of your business.

No animal ever has an ugly body until it is domesticated. It is the same with the human body.

All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.

Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery - what it all means, the way the little bone near the ankle relates itself to the floor for a perfect stance, a perfect plie.

Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It's a miracle, and the dance is a celebration of that miracle.

Sometimes it's blood memory... not the blood your mother and father gave you... but that which stretches back two or three thousand years.
