Isadora Duncan
People don't live nowadays: they get about ten percent out of life.
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
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
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
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
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
For I was never able to understand, then or later on, why, if one wanted to do a thing, one should not do it. For I have never waited to do as I wished. This has frequently brought me to disaster and calamity, but at least I have had the the satisfaction of getting my own way.
Isadora Duncan
Memories are less tangible than dreams.
Isadora Duncan
