"The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous."

 (Margaret Evelyn Hookham, conosciuta con lo pseudonimo di Margot Fonteyn, prima ballerina assoluta; Reigate, 18 maggio 1919 – Panama, 21 febbraio 1991)
