Image
Others loved themselves, money, theories, power: Lenin loved his fellow men.... Lenin was God, as Christ was God, because God is Love and Christ and Lenin were all Love!

Before I was born my mother was in great agony of spirit and in a tragic situation. She could take no food except iced oysters and champagne. If people ask me when I began to dance, I reply 'In my mother's womb, probably as a result of the oysters and Champagne.'

No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.

All my lovers have been geniuses it's the one thing that I insist.

Image
Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.

Eleonora Duse said, Tell me about Deirdre and Patrick, and made me repeat to her all their little sayings and ways, and show her their photos, which she kissed and cried over. She never said Cease to grieve, but she grieved with me, and, for the first time since their death, I felt I was not alone.

To dance is to live. What I want is a school of life.

I had discovered that love might be a pastime as well as a tragedy, and I gave myself to it with pagan innocence.

I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.

The butcher with his bloody apron incites bloodshed, murder. Why not? From cutting the throat of a young calf to cutting the throats of our brothers and sisters is but a step. While we ourselves are living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal conditions on the earth?

For I was never able to understand, then or later on, why, if one wanted to do a thing, one should not do it. For I have never waited to do as I wished. This has frequently brought me to disaster and calamity, but at least I have had the the satisfaction of getting my own way.

I would rather live in Russia on black bread and vodka than in the United States at the best hotels. America knows nothing of food, love or art.

The whole world is absolutely brought up on lies. We are fed nothing but lies. It begins with lies and half our lives we live with lies.

I preach freedom of the mind through freedom of the body women, for example - out of the prison of corsets.

Any woman or man who would write the truth of their lives would write a great work. But no one has dared to write the truth of their lives.
