Pity Is A Corroding Thing.

I Get Up, I Fall Down, All The While I Am Dancing.

The Past Is Not Dead; It Is Not Even Past. People Live On Inner Time; The Moment In Which A Decisive Thought Or Feeling Takes Place Can Be At Any Time. Timeless Feelings Are Common To All Of Us.

I Believe That Dance Was The First Art. A Philosopher Has Said That Dance And Architecture Were The First Arts. I Believe That Dance Was First Because It's Gesture, It's Communication. That Doesn't Mean It's Telling A Story, But It Means It's Communicating A Feeling, A Sensation To People.

Sometimes It's Blood Memory... Not The Blood Your Mother And Father Gave You... But That Which Stretches Back Two Or Three Thousand Years.

You Can Be Eastern Or Burmese Or What Have You, But The Function Of The Body And The Awareness Of The Body Results In Dance And You Become A Dancer, Not Just A Human Being.
