The Unique Must Be Fulfilled.

The Body Is Your Instrument In Dance, But Your Art Is Outside That Creature, The Body. I Don't Leap And Jump Anymore. I Look At Young Dancers, And I Am Envious, More Aware Of What Glories The Body Contains. But Sensitivity Is Not Made Dull By Age.

There Is Fatigue So Great That The Body Cries, Even In Its Sleep.

The Secret To Dancing Is That It Is About Everything Except Dancing.

In 1980, A Well-meaning Fundraiser Came To See Me And Said, "miss Graham, The Most Powerful Thing You Have Going For You To Raise Money Is Your Respectability." I Wanted To Spit. Respectable! Show Me Any Artist Who Wants To Be Respectable.

Nobody Cares If You Can't Dance Well. Just Get Up And Dance. Great Dancers Are Great Because Of Their Passion.
