Imagine we meander on . . .

Today is the birthday of Agnes George de Mille (September 18, 1905 – October 7, 1993), dancer and choreographer.

"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

"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."
- Agnes de Mille

"The creative urge is the demon that will not accept anything second rate."
- Agnes de Mille

"No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently."
- Agnes de Mille

"
The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie."
- Agnes de Mille

"
Dance in the body you have."
- Agnes de Mille
