More quotes by 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
The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.
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
I finally discovered the source of all movement, the unity from which all diversities of movement are born.
Isadora Duncan
People don't live nowadays: they get about ten percent out of life.
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
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
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
All my lovers have been geniuses it's the one thing that I insist.
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
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
I do not teach children, I give them joy.
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 have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years
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
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
Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.
Isadora Duncan
No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.
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.
