More quotes by Isadora Duncan
Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.
Isadora Duncan
Perhaps he was a bit different from other people, but what really sympathetic person is not a little mad?
Isadora Duncan
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.

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
Memories are less tangible than dreams.
Isadora Duncan
If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it
Isadora Duncan
People don't live nowadays: they get about ten percent out of life.
Isadora Duncan
I preach freedom of the mind through freedom of the body women, for example - out of the prison of corsets.
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
You were once wild here. Don't let them tame you.
Isadora Duncan
All my lovers have been geniuses it's the one thing that I insist.
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 dancer of the future will be one whose body & soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of the soul will have become the movement of the body.
Isadora Duncan
I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years

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.
