Nijinsky and his concept of Beauty.

"Beauty can not be discussed. Beauty  cannot be criticized. Beauty is not criticism."

Nijinsky, Theatre Stage and the circle.

"I don't like a theater with a square stage. I like a round theater. I will build a round theater. I know what an eye is. An eye is a theater. The brain is the audience. I am the eye in the brain."

The Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky. On life. Page 52

  

Nijinsky talking about Nietzsche

"Nietzsche lost his head because he thought. I do not think and therefore will not lose my head."

"The Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky" Page 24

  

The Actor's Studio and Tennessee Williams' times of success.

"Kazan had cast the entire show out of the Actor's Studio, an organization that was a very important thing in the great days-I guess I should say the prosperous days- of Broadway, during my time in the forties and the fifties. Those were two great decades of the Actor's Studio. Nearly every great actor of promise studied there. And the Actor's Studio technique fitted so well my type of play. And, the Actor's Studio-with Kazan, Strasberg, and Bobby Lewis-was a great place for actors to go and compare notes on each other's work and it gave them a sort of home base."
