Nearly everything in life goes in threes and fours.

The best way to study is to go to the Cecchetti method for about a year and draw onto all the highest points and then put that into the general method.

You can't stop what comes into a country, you can be influenced, but you can't stop it, you shouldn't, because it makes all the others interesting, we all get muddled up together, and produce something that belongs to everyone.

Nothing is done easily, first have the thing, then the thing has a success, then all sorts of difficulties arise through the success.

There's nothing in the world that isn't good, bad, and indifferent.

Diaghilev was the first to notice good character dancers and that sort of thing.
