But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe.

every artist is both male and female, and ... sometimes, the two great elements are in conjunction with him, so that all by himself he suddenly gets the melody and the burst of feeling of a great symphony without any external stimuli.

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

I believe that my whole creative life stemmed from this magic hour under the stars on that hilltop.

I want to dance always, to be good and not evil, and when it is all over not to have the feeling that I might have done better.

We can hear the silent voice of the spiritual universe within our own hearts.

You and I are but specks of that rhythmic urge which is Brahma, which is Allah, which is God.
