A fine picture is but the image of nature; a finished ballet is nature herself.

When the music and dance create with accord...their magic captivates both the heart and the mind.

It is shameful that dancing should renounce the empire it might assert over the mind and only endeavor to please the sight.

This art, born of genius and good taste, can become beautiful and varied to an infinite degree.

In order to dance well, nothing is so important as the turning outwards of the thigh; and nothing is so natural to men as the contrary position.

If our ballets be feeble, monotonous and dull, if they be devoid of ideas, meaning, expression and character, it is less the fault of the art than that of the artist.

True art consists in concealing art.

It is not a question of skimming the surface of the art, it must be probed to its depths, for to seize upon superficial things only is to degenerate into mediocrity and obscurity.

Dancing and ballets would undoubtedly take on a new lease on life, if the customs established by a spirit of fear and jealousy did not in some way close the path of glory.

On the field of The Self stand a knight and a dragon. You are the knight. Resistance is the dragon.

Warner Bros., where I spent pretty much most of my professional life, they continue to make a lot of movies but so many of the studios are pulling back.

Man is to become divine by realizing the divine. Idols or temples, or churches or books, are only the supports, the help of his spiritual childhood.

The sin that is most destructive in your life right now is the one you are most defensive about.
