I have frequently quoted these words, "movement is the medium in which we live our lives" which I mistakenly attributed to Marian Chace.
To my chagrin, they are not her words despite having been attributed to her. Marian Chace spoke them, but she was quoting John Martin at a 1961 presentation at the AAHPER conference (now AHHPERD):
"To quote John Martin in The Dance, 'Nature has so constituted us that movement is the medium in which we live our lives.'"
