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

If I could say it, I would not have to dance it.

Isadora Duncan 113 quotes

Now I am going to reveal to yo...

Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart; it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.

Any woman or man who would write the truth of their lives would write a great work. But no one has dared to write the truth of their lives.

I have only danced my life. As...

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.

I hope that schools have changed since I was a little girl. My memory of the teaching of the public schools is that it showed the brutal incomprehension of children.

Many women to whom I have prea...

Many women to whom I have preached the doctrine of freedom have weakly replied, 'But who is to support the children?' It seems to me that if the marriage ceremony is needed as a protection to insure the enforced support of children, then you are marrying a man who, you suspect, would under certain conditions, refuse to support his children, and it is a pretty low-down proposition. For you are marrying a man whom you already suspect of being a villain. But I have not so poor an opinion of men that I believe the greater

These people seemed so enwrapped in snobbishness and the glory of being rich that they had no art sense whatever.

The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of her soul...This is the truly creative dancer, natural but not imitative, speaking in movement out of herself and out of something greater than all selves.

Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual.

The first essential in writing about anything is that the writer should have no experience of the matter.

Isadora Duncan 113 quotes

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.

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 113 quotes

Oh Woman, come before us, befo...

Oh Woman, come before us, before our eyes longing for beauty, and tired of the ugliness of civilization, come in simple tunics, letting us see the line and harmony of the body beneath, and dance for us. Dance us the sweetness of life. Give us again the sweetness and the beauty of the true dance, give us again the joy of seeing the simple unconscious pure body of a woman. Like a great call it has come, and women must hear it and answer it.

Movements are as eloquent as words.

I finally discovered the source of all movement, the unity from which all diversities of movement are born.

Master technique, so that technique NEVER prevents you from dancing.

It is only in romances that people undergo a sudden metamorphosis. In real life, even after the most terrible experiences, the main character remains exactly the same.

The dancer will not belong to any nation but to all humanity.

No flower of art ever fully blossomed save it was nourished by tears of agony.
