More quotes by Martha Graham
The center of the stage is where I am.
Martha Graham
I am certain that movement never lies. There is only one law of posture I have been able to discover - the perpendicular line connecting heaven and earth.
Martha Graham
One can always lament, you know — but to laugh in the face of life, that's very hard. And for me the great tragedian should also be a great comedian.
Martha Graham
I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man--the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.
Martha Graham
You give all your life to doing this one thing. It sounds grim, it sounds frightening - it isn't - it has a great gaiety at times and a great wonder.
Martha Graham
The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.
Martha Graham
We are all of us, unique - each a unique pattern of creativity and if we do not fulfill it, it is lost for all time.
Martha Graham
Freedom to a dancer means discipline. That is what technique is for -- liberation.
Martha Graham
The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost. Ambition is not enough necessity is everything.
Martha Graham
There is a force, a quickness that is translated through you into action. If you block it, the world will not have it.
Martha Graham
The body says what words cannot.
Martha Graham
First we have to believe, and then we believe.
Martha Graham
You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out.
Martha Graham
Misery is a communicable disease.
Martha Graham
I don't think in art there is ever a precedent each moment is a new one and terrifying and threatening and bursting with hope.
Martha Graham
'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.
Martha Graham
I did not choose to be a dancer. I was chosen.
Martha Graham
You don't pick dance. Dance picks you.
Martha Graham
Every dance is a kind of fever chart, a graph of the heart.
Martha Graham
Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
Martha Graham
