I Do Not Teach Children, I Give Them Joy.

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.'

So Long As Little Children Are Allowed To Suffer, There Is No True Love In This World.
