More quotes by 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
Our arms start from the back because they were once wings.
Martha Graham
'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.
Martha Graham
Dance is the landscape of man's soul.
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
The spine is the tree of life. Respect it.
Martha Graham
Art is eternal for it reveals the inner landscape which is the soul of man.
Martha Graham
Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
Martha Graham
When you start with an idea, or something hits you, then you have to follow that through to the end, and it's the following through to the end that makes the pattern. That, for me, is choreography.
Martha Graham
Theater is a verb before it is a noun, an act before it is a place.
Martha Graham
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.
Martha Graham
In the end, it all comes down to the art of breathing.
Martha Graham
The past is not dead it is not even past. People live on inner time the moment in which a decisive thought or feeling takes place can be at any time. Timeless feelings are common to all of us.
Martha Graham
In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength.
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
What makes a great dancer is not technique. What makes a great dancer is passion.
Martha Graham
What people in the world think of you is really none of your business.
Martha Graham
I did not choose to be a dancer. I was chosen.
Martha Graham
First we have to believe, and then we believe.
Martha Graham
The next time you look into the mirror, just look at the way the ears rest next to the head look at the way the hairline grows think of all the little bones in your wrist. It is a miracle. And the dance is a celebration of that miracle.
Martha Graham
