“I have no words to describe [Shen Yun] because it is a different feeling, very elevated, that has nothing to do with the normal feelings that people feel with the senses that we use every day. It has to do with something much deeper and higher.”
 

“I am very moved with the desire to ... to learn more, to know more. ... The Chinese of today and those who are born tomorrow have the right to keep this culture, this tradition, this marvel.”
 

“When I was watching [the dance ‘Yellow Blossoms’], I said to myself, if it is true that one sees things at the last minute before his death, this is going to be one of the images that I will see. At a visual level and at every level, it is extraordinary. You have to see it.”
 

“[Shen Yun] is very accessible. You do not need to know about art, you do not need to know Chinese culture … because it comes to you. … You understand it at a level that you can´t explain because [the artists] do it from the heart, from the heart of the ancestors, from that which comes from a long, long time ago.”
 

“I think there are those things that transcend us as human beings that are part of life in the universe. ... It is the energy that connects us and makes us participate because as I’ve just said, it is not necessary for anyone to know anything because we all have that energy.”
 

“You have to live it. [Shen Yun] can’t be explained. This is a thing that has to do with life. … You have to feel it. It is an experience that must be [lived].”
