To Awaken Human Emotion Is The Highest

I Intend To Work For This Dance Of The Future. I Do Not Know Whether I Have The Necessary Qualities; I May Have Neither Genius Nor Talent Nor Temperament. But I Know That I Have A Will; And Will And Energy Sometimes Prove Greater Than Either Genius Or Talent Or Temperament.

When I Was Sixteen, I Danced Before An Audience Without Music. At The End Someone Suddenly Cried 'its Death And The Maiden'. But That Was Not My Intention; I Was Only Endeavoring To Express My First Knowledge Of The Underlying Tragedy In All Seemingly Joyous Manifestation. The Dance According With My Comprehension, Should Have Been Called 'life And The Maiden'.

Many Women To Whom I Have Preached The Doctrine Of Freedom Have Weakly Replied, 'but Who Is To Support The Children?' It Seems To Me That If The Marriage Ceremony Is Needed As A Protection To Insure The Enforced Support Of Children, Then You Are Marrying A Man Who, You Suspect, Would Under Certain Conditions, Refuse To Support His Children, And It Is A Pretty Low-down Proposition. For You Are Marrying A Man Whom You Already Suspect Of Being A Villain. But I Have Not So Poor An Opinion Of Men That I Believe The Greater Percentage Of Them To Be Such Low Specimens Of Humanity.

My First Idea Of Movement, Of The Dance, Certainly Came From The Rhythm Of The Wave.

My Motto - Sans Limites.
