Isadora Duncan

Isadora Duncan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.

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