I had discovered that love might be a pastime as well as a tragedy, and I gave myself to it with pagan innocence.

If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it

Dancing: The Highest Intelligence in the Freest Body.

You were once wild here. Don't let them tame you.

The Dance - it is the rhythm of all that dies in order to live again; it is the eternal rising of the sun.

My motto - sans limites.

Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual.

Movements are as eloquent as words.

Let us first teach little children to breathe, to vibrate, to feel, and to become one with the general harmony and movement of nature. Let us first produce a beautiful human being, a dancing child.

A dancer, if she is great, can give to the people something that they can carry with them forever. They can never forget it, and it has changed them, though they may never know it.

I am seeking that dance which might be the divine expression of the human spirit through the medium of the body's movement.

I wanted that future officer to weigh decisions with a supple mind and to be comfortable with nuance and uncertainty.

I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else

The human race never solves any of its problems, it only outlives them.

Zero Mostel wasn't afraid of authority in any form, and that's the part that influenced me the most.

All along, my mantra was: Don't write unless it contributes to the emotion, and do anything you do in service of the emotion only.

The boss says 'Go'; the leader says 'Let's go!'

And how can poetry stand up against its new conditions? Its position is perfectly precarious.

There needs to be a reason to go, so you go deeper into whatever place you're visiting to find those unforgettable experiences.

Friendship is such an elastic word. There never was an age when it stood for so many things in private, and was yet so absolutely non-existent in fact.

I don't want my fans to have the same disappointment as me when I was refused by some players to sign my notebook when I was young.
