They Are Poets Of Gesture.

The Choreographer And The Dancer Must Remember
that They Reach The Audience Through The Eye.
it's The Illusion Created Which Convinces The Audience,
much As It Is With The Work Of A Magician.

The Ballet Is A Purely Female Thing; It Is A Woman, A Garden Of Beautiful Flowers, And Man Is The Gardener.

I Can Always Invent Movement, And Sometimes It Can Be Fitted Into The Right Place, But That Is Not Choreography. It Is The Music That Dictates The Whole Shape Of The Work. I Do Not Believe In The Permanence Of Anything In Ballet Save The Purely Classical.

Put A Man And A Girl On Stage And There Is Already A Story; A Man And Two Girls, There's Already A Plot.

I Could Never Make A Ballet By Wrinkling My Brow And Concentrating. If You Set Out Deliberately To Make A Masterpiece, How Will You Ever Get It Finished?
