What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.
Isadora Duncan
Image
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

Movements are as eloquent as words.
Isadora Duncan

Others loved themselves, money, theories, power: Lenin loved his fellow men.... Lenin was God, as Christ was God, because God is Love and Christ and Lenin were all Love!

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
Isadora Duncan
Image
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan
Image
Memories are less tangible than dreams.
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.
