“He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying. ”

“I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move.Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me.”

“I learned to walk; since then I have let myself run. I learned to fly; since then I do not need pushing in order to move from a spot.”

“The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.”

“For truth to tell, dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education: dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with pen- that one must learn how to write”

“Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster.”

“Must one first batter their ears, that they may learn to hear with their eyes? Must one clatter like kettledrums and penitential preachers? Or do they only believe the stammerer?”
