More quotes by 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
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?
Isadora Duncan
To dance is to live. What I want is a school of life.
Isadora Duncan
I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.
Isadora Duncan
I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years
Isadora Duncan
You were once wild here. Don't let them tame you.
Isadora Duncan
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.
Isadora Duncan
The whole world is absolutely brought up on lies. We are fed nothing but lies. It begins with lies and half our lives we live with lies.
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
Movements are as eloquent as words.
Isadora Duncan
Memories are less tangible than dreams.
Isadora Duncan
All my lovers have been geniuses it's the one thing that I insist.
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
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
What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life
Isadora Duncan
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.
Isadora Duncan
I do not teach children, I give them joy.
Isadora Duncan
Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.
Isadora Duncan
Anybody can and should dance... It's good for the body and the spirit.
Isadora Duncan
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
