More quotes by Isadora Duncan
The Dance of the Future will have to become again a high religious art as it was with the Greeks. For art which is not religious is not art, it is mere merchandise
Isadora Duncan
The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.
Isadora Duncan
I am seeking that dance which might be the divine expression of the human spirit through the medium of the body's movement.
Isadora Duncan
Memories are less tangible than dreams.
Isadora Duncan
I preach freedom of the mind through freedom of the body women, for example - out of the prison of corsets.
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
Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.
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
I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.
Isadora Duncan
Movements are as eloquent as words.
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 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
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
I do not teach children, I give them joy.
Isadora Duncan
I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years
Isadora Duncan
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.
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 finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet.
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
With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.
Isadora Duncan
