["Danse Macabre II", Suria Kassimi]

Wo immer der Tanzende mit dem Fuß auftritt, da entspringt dem Staub ein Quell des Lebens. 

[Dschalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi]

["Klavierstück I"]

Mein Tanzlied

Aus mir braust finstre Tanzmusik,

Meine Seele kracht in tausend Stücken;

Der Teufel holt sich mein Mißgeschick,

Um es ans brandige Herz zu drücken.

Die Rosen fliegen mir aus dem Haar

Und mein Leben saust nach allen Seiten,

So tanz ich schon seit tausend Jahr,

Seit meiner ersten Ewigkeiten.

[Else Lasker-Schüler]

["Danse Macabre III", Suria Kassimi]

Die Guten gehn im gleichen Schritt.

Ohne von ihnen zu wissen, tanzen die anderen um sie die Tänze der Zeit.

[Franz Kafka]

["Klavierstück XII"]

The desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews

Not to be born is the best for man

The second best is a formal order

The dance's pattern, dance while you can.

Dance, dance, for the figure is easy

The tune is catching and will not stop

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters

Dance, dance, dance till you drop.

[W. H. Auden]

["Klavierstück VIII"]

Nur im Tanze weiß ich der höchsten Dinge Gleichnis zu reden.

[Friedrich Nietzsche]

["Danse Macabre I", Suria Kassimi]

I have only danced my life. As a child I danced the spontaneous joy of growing things. As an adolescent, I danced with joy turning to apprehension of the first realisation of tragic undercurrents; apprehension of the pitiless brutality and crushing progress of life. [Isadora Duncan]

["Klavierstück V"]

I hope that schools have changed since I was a little girl. My memory of the teaching of the public schools is that it showed the brutal incomprehension of children. [Isadora Duncan]

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 of 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. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired. [Martha Graham]
