More quotes by Isadora Duncan
I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years
Isadora Duncan
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan
What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life
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 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
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
The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.
Isadora Duncan
Movements are as eloquent as words.
Isadora Duncan
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
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.
Isadora Duncan
These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.
Isadora Duncan
It seems to me monstrous that anyone should believe that the jazz rhythm expresses America. Jazz rhythm expresses the primitive savage.
Isadora Duncan
I finally discovered the source of all movement, the unity from which all diversities of movement are born.
Isadora Duncan
The finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet.
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
Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.
Isadora Duncan
Before I was born my mother was in great agony of spirit and in a tragic situation. She could take no food except iced oysters and champagne. If people ask me when I began to dance, I reply 'In my mother's womb, probably as a result of the oysters and Champagne.'
Isadora Duncan
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
Isadora Duncan
Man must speak, then sing, then dance. The speaking is the brain, the thinking man. The singing is the emotion. The dancing is the Dionysian ecstasy which carries away all.
Isadora Duncan
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.
Isadora Duncan
