" Butoh is darkness and light. Butoh is the dance of being. Butoh is a virus. Butoh crawls on the earth. There is no time in Butoh. In Butoh the body becomes an empty vessel. Authentic Butoh dances the dancer. Butoh is a dance of the disenfranchised. If you are old, crippled or sick ... you may be ready to dance Butoh. Butoh is Zen ... only don't know... is Butoh. If you encounter a Butoh Master on the path, kill him ... there are no masters in Butoh. "
