More quotes by Isadora Duncan
What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.
Isadora Duncan
I intend to work for this dance of the future. I do not know whether I have the necessary qualities I may have neither genius nor talent nor temperament. But I know that I have a Will and will and energy sometimes prove greater than either genius or talent or temperament.
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
No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.
Isadora Duncan
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
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
You were once wild here. Don't let them tame you.
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
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
Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual.
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
To dance is to live. What I want is a school of life.
Isadora Duncan
People don't live nowadays: they get about ten percent out of life.
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
Virtuous people are simply those who have not been tempted sufficiently, because they live in a vegetative state, or because their purposes are so concentrated in one direction that they have not had the leisure to glance around them.
Isadora Duncan
I do not teach children, I give them joy.
Isadora Duncan
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!
Isadora Duncan
The noblest art is the nude. This truth is recognized by all, and followed by painters, sculptors and poets. Only the dancer has forgotten it, who should remember it, as the instrument of [the dance] art is the human body itself.
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
The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.
Isadora Duncan
