More quotes by Isadora Duncan
I was born by the sea, and I have noticed that all the great events of my life have taken place by the sea. My first idea of movement, of the dance, certainly came from the rhythm of the waves.
Isadora Duncan
If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it
Isadora Duncan
I finally discovered the source of all movement, the unity from which all diversities of movement are born.
Isadora Duncan
Perhaps he was a bit different from other people, but what really sympathetic person is not a little mad?
Isadora Duncan
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
The first essential in writing about anything is that the writer should have no experience of the matter.
Isadora Duncan
Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual.
Isadora Duncan
These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.
Isadora Duncan
The wind? I am the wind. The sea and the moon? I am the sea and the moon. Tears, pain, love, bird-flights? I am all of them. I dance what I am. Sin, prayer, flight, the light that never was on land or sea? I dance what I am.
Isadora Duncan
What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life
Isadora Duncan
I do not teach children, I give them joy.
Isadora Duncan
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
The dancer of the future will be one whose body & soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of the soul will have become the movement of the body.
Isadora Duncan
I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.
Isadora Duncan
I had learned to have a perfect nausea for the theatre: the continual repetition of the same words and the same gestures, night after night, and the caprices, the way of looking at life, and the entire rigmarole disgusted me.
Isadora Duncan
What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.
Isadora Duncan
To dance is to live. What I want is a school of life.
Isadora Duncan
Most human beings today waste some 25 to 30 years of their lives before they break through the actual and conventional lies which surround them.
Isadora Duncan
I have only danced my life. As a child I danced the spontaneous joy of growing things. As an adolescent, I danced with joy turning to apprehension of the first realisation of tragic undercurrents apprehension of the pitiless brutality and crushing progress of life.
Isadora Duncan
I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years
