More quotes by Isadora Duncan
I was born by the sea, and I have noticed that all the great events of my life have taken place by the sea. My first idea of movement, of the dance, certainly came from the rhythm of the waves.
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
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
I had learned to have a perfect nausea for the theatre: the continual repetition of the same words and the same gestures, night after night, and the caprices, the way of looking at life, and the entire rigmarole disgusted me.
Isadora Duncan
What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.
Isadora Duncan
No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.
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
Movements are as eloquent as words.
Isadora Duncan
Memories are less tangible than dreams.
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
I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years
Isadora Duncan
I do not teach children, I give them joy.
Isadora Duncan
I preach freedom of the mind through freedom of the body women, for example - out of the prison of corsets.
Isadora Duncan
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan
Before I was born my mother was in great agony of spirit and in a tragic situation. She could take no food except iced oysters and champagne. If people ask me when I began to dance, I reply 'In my mother's womb, probably as a result of the oysters and Champagne.'
Isadora Duncan
Perhaps he was a bit different from other people, but what really sympathetic person is not a little mad?
Isadora Duncan
These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.
Isadora Duncan
Virtuous people are simply those who have not been tempted sufficiently, because they live in a vegetative state, or because their purposes are so concentrated in one direction that they have not had the leisure to glance around them.
Isadora Duncan
All my lovers have been geniuses it's the one thing that I insist.
Isadora Duncan
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
Isadora Duncan
