Dance Is The Movement Of The Universe

If I Could Explain, I Wouldn't Need To Dance!

Many Women To Whom I Have Preached The Doctrine Of Freedom Have Weakly Replied, 'but Who Is To Support The Children?' It Seems To Me That If The Marriage Ceremony Is Needed As A Protection To Insure The Enforced Support Of Children, Then You Are Marrying A Man Who, You Suspect, Would Under Certain Conditions, Refuse To Support His Children, And It Is A Pretty Low-down Proposition. For You Are Marrying A Man Whom You Already Suspect Of Being A Villain. But I Have Not So Poor An Opinion Of Men That I Believe The Greater Percentage Of Them To Be Such Low Specimens Of Humanity.

So That Ends My First Experience Of Matrimony, Which I Always Thought A Highly Over-rated Performance.

All My Life I Have Struggled To Make One Authentic Gesture.

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.'
