All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.

Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves.

Gold, n.: A soft malleable metal relatively scarce in distribution. It is mined deep in the earth by poor men who then give it to rich men who immediately bury it back in the earth in great prisons, although gold hasn't done anything to them.

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.

It's not that we poor men are so powerful to be able to banish the devil. It's that God gives us the power.

As we kill nature, we are killing ourselves, and God incarnate as the world as well.
