Dear lale1,

The source of that quotation is a letter written by Martha Graham to
her biographer, Agnes DeMille. DeMille quoted the letter in her book
"Martha - The Life and Work of Martha Graham".

The book is currently out of print, but you can obtain it from Amazon
Marketplace Dealers from $5.98:
