“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a
quickening that is translated through you
into action, and because there is only one
of you in all of time, this expression is
unique. And if you block it, it will never
exist through any other medium and it will
be lost. The world will not have it. It is not
your business to determine how good it is
nor how valuable nor how it compares with
other expressions. It is your business to
keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep
the channel open. You have to keep
yourself open and aware to the urges that
motivate you. Keep the channel open. …”
Martha Graham to Agnes Demille
