When you are fifty, you're neither young nor old; you're just uninteresting. When you are sixty, and still dancing, you become something of a curiosity. And boy! if you hit seventy, and can still get a foot off the ground, you're phenomenal!

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

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.

It is not a question of who dances but of who or what does not dance.

When you are fifty, you're neither young nor old; you're just uninteresting. When you are sixty, and still dancing, you become something of a curiosity. And boy! if you hit seventy, and can still get a foot off the ground, you're phenomenal!

I have lived so long because in those moments when I am dancing, I am beyond time and space.
