“Modern dance isn’t anything except one thing in my mind: the freedom of women in America.”

The center of the stage is where I am.

Nothing is more revealing than movement.

Dancers have more bones than most people and on the days when you work hard you are sure that you have somehow accumulated more bones than you started with.

No animal ever has an ugly body until it is domesticated. It is the same with the human body.

The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost. Ambition is not enough; necessity is everything.

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.

We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.

Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.

The body is a sacred garment. It’s your first and last garment; it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with, and it should be treated with honor.

I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man–the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.

You have no right to go before a public without an adequate technique, just because you feel. Anything feels – a leaf feels, a storm feels – what right have you to do that? You have to have speech, and it’s a cultivated speech.

Stand up! Keep your backs straight! Remember that this is where the wings grow.

What people in the world think of you is really none of your business.

I’d rather an audience like me than dislike me, but I’d rather they disliked me than be apathetic, because that is the kiss of death.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.

You don’t pick dance. Dance picks you.

We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.

I’ve fought for hard-working Americans my entire career and I’m proud of everything I’ve accomplished. But I’m not done yet.

This is not a time to take our foot off the gas pedal. If we rally the American people, we can get a hell of a lot done.

Let’s motivate ourselves and our dear ones to play for sometime everyday & we can help India in become healthier & fitter.

I’m eternally grateful to fate and the citizens of Russia that they’ve trusted me to be the head of the Russian government.

f you aspire to be a leader of your own country, you must speak your own language, for God’s sake.

Japan and Europe will work hand in hand to create an international order in the era of Corona.

We lose when we are divided. We win when we are united.
