The Body Is A Sacred Garment.

I Don't Try To Tell The Dancers Exactly What A Dance Means Before They Do It.

No Artist Is Pleased. There Is No Satisfaction Whatever At Any Time. There Is Only A Strange, Divine Dissatisfaction, A Blessed Unrest That Keeps Us Marching And Makes Us More Alive Than The Others.

I Have Spent All My Life With Dance And Being A Dancer. It's Permitting Life To Use You In A Very Intense Way. Sometimes It Is Not Pleasant. Sometimes It Is Fearful. But Nevertheless It Is Inevitable.

There Is A Vitality, A Life Force, A Quickening That Is Translated Through You Into Action, And Because There Is Only One Of You In All Time, This Expression Is Unique, And If You Block It, It Will Never Exist Through Any Other Medium, And Be Lost. The World Will Not Have It. It Is Not Your Business To Determine How Good It Is, Not How It Compares With Other Expression. It Is Your Business To Keep It Yours Clearly And Directly, To Keep The Channel Open.

America Does Not Concern Itself Now With Impressionism. We Own No Involved Philosophy. The Psyche Of The Land Is To Be Found In Its Movement. It Is To Be Felt As A Dramatic Force Of Energy And Vitality. We Move; We Do Not Stand Still. We Have Not Yet Arrived At The Stock-taking Stage.
