Quote

The butcher with his bloody apron incites bloodshed, murder. Why not? From cutting the throat of a young calf to cutting the throats of our brothers and sisters is but a step. While we ourselves are living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal conditions on the earth?

What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life
Isadora Duncan
Image
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.

You were once wild here. Don't let them tame you.

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

The noblest art is the nude. This truth is recognized by all, and followed by painters, sculptors and poets. Only the dancer has forgotten it, who should remember it, as the instrument of [the dance] art is the human body itself.
Isadora Duncan
Image
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.

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.

If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it
Isadora Duncan
Image
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.

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

Image
I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.
Isadora Duncan
Image
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan

Perhaps he was a bit different from other people, but what really sympathetic person is not a little mad?

With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.

No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.

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!
Isadora Duncan
Image
I finally discovered the source of all movement, the unity from which all diversities of movement are born.
Isadora Duncan
Image
I preach freedom of the mind through freedom of the body women, for example - out of the prison of corsets.
Isadora Duncan
Image
I have only danced my life. As a child I danced the spontaneous joy of growing things. As an adolescent, I danced with joy turning to apprehension of the first realisation of tragic undercurrents apprehension of the pitiless brutality and crushing progress of life.

I do not teach children, I give them joy.
