Theater people are always pining and agonizing because they’re afraid that they’ll be forgotten. And in America they’re quite right. They will be.
Agnes de Mille

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.
Agnes de Mille

Agnes de Mille’s career was a long, successful, but also turbulent journey through the world of 20th century American theater and ballet (via)
