Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
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...

Isadora Duncan
Image
I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.
Isadora Duncan
Image
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

These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.
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.
