Remembering that man is indeed the microcosm, the universe in miniature, the Divine Dance of the future should be able to convey with its slightest gestures some significance of the universe.
Ruth St. DenisI have lived so long because in those moments when I am dancing, I am beyond time and space.
Ruth St. DenisI believe that my whole creative life stemmed from this magic hour under the stars on that hilltop.
Ruth St. DenisI have performed for thousands when they found me exotic, the vogue, daring, but I have danced, at any given time, for about ten people... They were the ones that left the theater forever different from the way they were when they came in. All of my long, long life, I have danced for those ten.
