"[Martha Graham] says that her father could intuit his patients' mental condition from their movements. "Movements never lies," Dr Graham used to say, and this became his daughter's most famous pronouncement. Graham was imperious from childhood. When grown ups asked for a kiss, she would say, "My father doesn't approve of kissing. It isn't sanitary. But you may kiss my hand."  #dance
