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
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
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
