“Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made.”

“Art is the Western myth, with which we both console ourselves and make ourselves.”

“Once we step out of the picture which we have made ourselves part of, if only temporarily, our life changes.”

“...by the time we understand the pattern we are in, the definition we are making for ourselves, it's too late to break out of the box. We can only live in terms of the definition, like the prisoner in the cage in which he cannot lie or stand or sit, hung up in justice to be viewed by the populace. Yet the definition we have made of ourselves is ourselves. To break out of it, we must make a new self. But how can the self make a new self when the selfness which it is, is the only substance from which the new self can be made?”

“Art is excitement which if we can't create ourselves, we can at least, through love of it, make available to others.”

“We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.”
