The Dancer's Body Is Simply The Luminous

My Art Is Just An Effort To Express The Truth Of My Being In Gesture And Movement. It Has Taken Me Long Years To Find Even One Absolutely True Movement.

All My Lovers Have Been Geniuses; It's The One Thing That I Insist.

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.

I Hope That Schools Have Changed Since I Was A Little Girl. My Memory Of The Teaching Of The Public Schools Is That It Showed The Brutal Incomprehension Of Children.

The Artist Is The Only Lover; He Alone Has The Pure Vision Of Beauty, And Love Is The Vision Of The Soul When It Is Permitted To Gaze Upon Immortal Beauty.
