A Great Privilege

About the artist:

"You are a great public servant," [Martha] told her dancers. "You are fulfilling a person's dream of what a man and a woman can be or should beware of being. Sometimes you are doing something for them because they cannot do it for themselves, at least not in the same way. So you are a servant to the public and that is a great privilege and a great honor."

"I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each it is the performance or a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God."
