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.

Image
It seems to me monstrous that anyone should believe that the jazz rhythm expresses America. Jazz rhythm expresses the primitive savage.
Isadora Duncan
Image
I am seeking that dance which might be the divine expression of the human spirit through the medium of the body's movement.
Isadora Duncan
Image
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
Isadora Duncan
Image
I see only the ideal. But no ideals have ever been fully successful on this earth.

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

Isadora Duncan
Image

Isadora Duncan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I had discovered that love might be a pastime as well as a tragedy, and I gave myself to it with pagan innocence.
Isadora Duncan
Image
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
What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.
Isadora Duncan
Image
If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it
Isadora Duncan
Image
I finally discovered the source of all movement, the unity from which all diversities of movement are born.

What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life
