The Dancer's Quote Book attempts to capture the highs and the lows, the technical aspects and the moments of pure spiritual joy that come with a career in dance. Inside these covers you will find the words of such artists as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Anna Pavlova, George Balanchine, and Martha Graham speaking from topics as specific as pointe shoes to topics as broad as life itself. I hope that every dancer will find something to inspire, to ponder or even to argue. Dance may be a silent art, but dancers have a lot to say.
