More quotes by Isadora Duncan
The wind? I am the wind. The sea and the moon? I am the sea and the moon. Tears, pain, love, bird-flights? I am all of them. I dance what I am. Sin, prayer, flight, the light that never was on land or sea? I dance what I am.

Isadora Duncan
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
Isadora Duncan
No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.
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
These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.
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
Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.
Isadora Duncan
The first essential in writing about anything is that the writer should have no experience of the matter.
