Martha Graham

The body is my instrument, and it never lies. I spent a lifetime building a language out of movement — fierce, precise, and utterly honest.

The body is a sacred garment. It is what you enter life in and what you depart life with, and it should be treated with honour, and with joy and with fear as well.
