Dancing of late years has been degraded to the narrow limits and low professionalism of mere mechanical proficiency, associated with the most frivolous... phases of the stage. But this day is fading...We are turning our gaze inward, learning to seek there the divine sources of the dance, to the end that it may flower into new and more glorious forms of beauty and wealth
Ruth St. DenisI see the dance being used as a means of express what is too deep, too fine for words.
Ruth St. DenisWe have the capacity to receive messages from the stars and the songs of the night winds.
Ruth St. DenisWe can scale the heights of mountains and see the world rayed out before us, but we fail to recognize that which is before us
