Selected quotes by George Balanchine
Most ballet teachers in the United States are terrible. If they were in medicine, everyone would be poisoned.
In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.
God creates, I do not create. I assemble and I steal everywhere to do it - from what I see, from what the dancers can do, from what others do.
In ballet a complicated story is impossible to tell... we can't dance synonyms.
One is born to be a great dancer.
