Quote

Art is not necessary at all. All that is necessary to make this world a better place to live in is to love - to love as Christ loved, as Buddha loved.

Image
I had discovered that love might be a pastime as well as a tragedy, and I gave myself to it with pagan innocence.
Isadora Duncan
Image
If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it
Isadora Duncan
Image
Eleonora Duse said, Tell me about Deirdre and Patrick, and made me repeat to her all their little sayings and ways, and show her their photos, which she kissed and cried over. She never said Cease to grieve, but she grieved with me, and, for the first time since their death, I felt I was not alone.

With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.

If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan
Image
Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.

Movements are as eloquent as words.

You were once wild here. Don't let them tame you.
Isadora Duncan
Image
Others loved themselves, money, theories, power: Lenin loved his fellow men.... Lenin was God, as Christ was God, because God is Love and Christ and Lenin were all Love!

People don't live nowadays: they get about ten percent out of life.
Isadora Duncan
Image
I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.
Isadora Duncan
Image
I would rather live in Russia on black bread and vodka than in the United States at the best hotels. America knows nothing of food, love or art.
Isadora Duncan
Image
Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual.
Isadora Duncan
Image
These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.
Isadora Duncan
Image
The butcher with his bloody apron incites bloodshed, murder. Why not? From cutting the throat of a young calf to cutting the throats of our brothers and sisters is but a step. While we ourselves are living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal conditions on the earth?
Isadora Duncan
Image
The whole world is absolutely brought up on lies. We are fed nothing but lies. It begins with lies and half our lives we live with lies.
Isadora Duncan
Image
To dance is to live. What I want is a school of life.
Isadora Duncan
Image
Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.
Isadora Duncan

I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years

What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life
