Ballet Is Important And Significant - Yes.

I Don't Have A Past. I Have A Continuous Present. The Past Is Part Of The Present, Just As The Future Is. We Exist In Time.

The Mirror Is Not You. The Mirror Is You Looking At Yourself.

God Creates, I Do Not Create. I Assemble And I Steal Everywhere To Do It - From What I See, From What The Dancers Can Do, From What Others Do.

In My Ballets, Woman Is First. Men Are Consorts. God Made Men To Sing The Praises Of Women. They Are Not Equal To Men: They Are Better.

One Is Born To Be A Dancer. No Teacher Can Work Miracles, Nor Will Years Of Training Make A Good Dancer Of An Untalented Pupil. One May Be Able To Acquire A Certain Technical Facility, But No One Can Ever 'acquire An Exceptional Talent.' I Have Never Prided Myself On Having An Unusually Gifted Pupil. A Pavlova Is No One's Pupil But God's.
