We should realize in a vivid and revolutionary sense that we are not in our bodies but our bodies are in us.

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

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.

It was then that my religious consciousness emerged to flower years afterward into definite forms of religious dancing in which there is no sense of division between spirit and flesh, religion and art.

I see the dance being used as a means of express what is too deep, too fine for words.

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

How in the end can one possibly hold anyone responsible for our own underdeveloped visions, or undeveloped strength of character?
