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.
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...
