"В моих мемуарах образ Дягилева остался живым и, как я смею думать, правдивым, но этот образ был слишком интимным: он был эскизом портрета Сергея Павловича Дягилева, а не С. П. Дягилева, великого человека, создателя новой художественной культуры, создателя новой эстетики, создателя "Мира искусства" и Русского балета. Я так живо представил себе это, что наедине с самим собой, перед самим собой густо покраснел и сейчас же откинул для себя возможность этого. Нет, все, что угодно, только не это — я никогда не стану "фаворитом"! Но что же тогда делать?
