More quotes by Isadora Duncan
Memories are less tangible than dreams.
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
Any woman or man who would write the truth of their lives would write a great work. But no one has dared to write the truth of their lives.
Isadora Duncan

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
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
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
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
Isadora Duncan
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan
With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.
Isadora Duncan
What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life
