There are joys so complete, so all perfect, that one should not survive them.

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.

You'd love a bit of pomp: that way in later years you might invoke end-of-empire ghosts.

I am finishing a biography of [Gustave] Flaubert. Because he is the opposite of what I am. One needs to rub up against argument.

I like to prove things wrong.

A woman who is self-reliant, positive, optimistic, and undertakes her work with the assurance of success magnetizes her condition. She draws to herself the creative powers of the universe.

A reporter shoots first, aims later.

I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.

A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.
