To Awaken Human Emotion Is The Highest

All My Life I Have Struggled To Make One Authentic Gesture.

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.

It Is The Mission Of All Art To Express The Highest And Most Beautiful Ideals Of Man.

I Had Discovered That Love Might Be A Pastime As Well As A Tragedy, And I Gave Myself To It With Pagan Innocence.

The Movement Of The Waves, Of Winds, Of The Earth Is Ever In The Same Lasting Harmony. We Do Not Stand On The Beach And Inquire Of The Ocean What Was Its Movement Of The Past And What Will Be Its Movement Of The Future. We Realize That The Movement Peculiar To Its Nature Is Eternal To Its Nature. The Dancer Of The Future Will Be One Whose Body And Soul Have Grown So Harmoniously Together That The Natural Language Of That Soul Will Have Become The Movement Of The Body.
