“I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed. I saw and felt their pain. They felt the approaching death. I could not bear it. I cried like a child. I ran up a hill and could not breathe. I felt that I was choking. I felt the death of the lamb.”
-- Vaslav Nijinsky -
“I have come to the conclusion that it is better to be silent than to speak.”
-- Vaslav Nijinsky -
“People like eccentrics. Therefore they will leave me alone, saying that I am a mad clown.”
-- Vaslav Nijinsky -
“I danced frightening things. They were frightened of me and therefore thought that I wanted to kill them. I did not want to kill anyone. I loved everyone, but no one loved me, and therefore I became nervous.”
-- Vaslav Nijinsky -
“I am not crying, but have tears in my heart.”
-- Vaslav Nijinsky -
“I am not an ape, I am a man. The world has been created by God. Man has been created by God. It is not possible for man to understand God - God understands God. Man is God and therefore understands God. I am God. I am a man. I am good and not a beast. I am an animal with reason. I have flesh, I *am* flesh, I am not descended from flesh. Flesh is created by God. I am God. I am God. I am God.”
-- Vaslav Nijinsky
