Vaslav Nijinski Frases famosas
Since I gave up meat I feel better. My thoughts are clearer and I run instead of walking. I only walk for a rest. I run a lot because I feeel a force in me; my muscles, my hair, are more obedient. I dance more lightly, and I have a big appetite.
The diary of Vaslav Nijinsky - página 77, Waslaw Nijinsky, Romola de Pulszky Nijinsky - Simon and Schuster, 1936 - 187 páginas
I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed. I saw and felt their pain. They felt the approaching death, I left in order not to see their death. I could not bear it I cried like a child. I ran up a hill and could not breathe, I felt that I was choking. I felt the death of the lamb.

Vaslav Nijinski: Frases em inglês
“People like eccentrics and they will therefore leave me alone, saying that I am a "mad clown."”
As quoted in Vaslav Nijinsky : A Leap into Madness by Peter F. Ostwald, Ch. 8: Playing the Role of a Madman, p. 176
Unsourced variant: I know everyone will say "Nijinsky has gone mad," but I don’t care because I have already played the mad man at home. That is what everyone will think, but they won’t put me in an insane asylum because I dance very well and give money to anyone who asks. People like eccentrics, so they will leave me alone and say I’m a mad clown. I like the mentally ill because I know how to talk to them. When my brother was in an insane asylum, I loved him and he could feel me. His friends liked me. I was eighteen then. I understood the life of a mentally ill person.
