The Dancer Will Not Belong To A

To Awaken Human Emotion Is The Highest Level Of Art.

Before I Was Born My Mother Was In Great Agony Of Spirit And In A Tragic Situation. She Could Take No Food Except Iced Oysters And Champagne. If People Ask Me When I Began To Dance, I Reply 'in My Mother's Womb, Probably As A Result Of The Oysters And Champagne.'

Art Is Not Necessary At All. All That Is Necessary To Make This World A Better Place To Live In Is To Love - To Love As Christ Loved, As Buddha Loved.

The Noblest Art Is The Nude. This Truth Is Recognized By All, And Followed By Painters, Sculptors And Poets. Only The Dancer Has Forgotten It, Who Should Remember It, As The Instrument Of [the Dance] Art Is The Human Body Itself.

I Finally Discovered The Source Of All Movement, The Unity From Which All Diversities Of Movement Are Born.
