Ruth St. DenisRight here where you and I stand, we shall behold a true and radiant world. In that world, we shall dance only our divine essence.

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.
