Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life, it is life itself.
Henry Havelock Ellis
Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.
Ellis, Havelock
Movement is the translation of life, and if art depicts life, movement should come into art, since we are only aware of living because it moves.
Gorky, Arshile
Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life.
Voltaire
In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety, and the wonder of life. This is the function of the American dance.
Graham, Martha
Art is a refining and evocative translation of the materials of the world.
Brooks, Gwendolyn
Translation is entirely mysterious. Increasingly I have felt that the art of writing is itself translating, or more like translating than it is like anything else. What is the other text, the original? I have no answer. I suppose it is the source, the deep sea where ideas swim, and one catches them in nets of words and swings them shining into the boat... where in this metaphor they die and get canned and eaten in sandwiches.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
There are few efforts more conducive to humility than that of the translator trying to communicate an incommunicable beauty. Yet, unless we do try, something unique and never surpassed will cease to exist except in the libraries of a few inquisitive book lovers.
Hamilton, Edith
Why is art beautiful? Because it's useless. Why is life ugly? Because it's all ends and purposes and intentions.
Pessoa, Fernando
