I heard many stories about Miss Ruth from my teacher La Meri but this is the first time I have actually heard the real Diva speaking and she is just as wonderful as I had imagined. thank you for posting! Truly on the the GREATS in american history.
"I think this age of automation, is a case of man in flight from himself and I feel that if any one art can bring him [mankind] back to himself, it is the dance [...] because rhythm is what creates the universe and everything in it [...] <em>In a world gone mad, those who have listened to the divine, those who have ever moved in the rhythm of inward joy, must dance now.</em> Let us not wait for the world to be better, let us help to make it better."
A real human being... more are needed in today's world.

I was lucky enough to have her come to my high school dance class and lecture, probably in 1966. Inspirational.

Wonderful quote from video:
