I Am A Dancer (1952)
Source: Blood Memory
Context: I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of mankind — the landscape of the human soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human being can be.
“A good book is the purest essence of a human soul.”
Herzog on Herzog (2002)

“The human soul has need of truth and of freedom of expression.”
Draft for a Statement of Human Obligation (1943), Statement Of Obligations
Context: The human soul has need of truth and of freedom of expression.
The need for truth requires that intellectual culture should be universally accessible, and that it should be able to be acquired in an environment neither physically remote nor psychologically alien.
