The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body. I don't leap and jump anymore. I look at young dancers, and I am envious, more aware of what glories the body contains. But sensitivity is not made dull by age.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

The past is not dead; it is n...

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 161 quotes

I believe that we learn by practice... it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which come shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit.

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.

Every dance is a kind of fever chart, a graph of the heart.

Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

I did not want to be a tree, ...

I did not want to be a tree, a flower or a wave. In a dancer's body, we as audience must see ourselves, not the imitated behavior of everyday actions, not the phenomenon of nature, not exotic creatures from another planet, but something of the miracle that is a human being.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time; it is just that others are behind the times.

Nothing is more revealing than movement.

To me, a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man, he's made it out of his love for space, materials, things like that.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

The body is a sacred garment. It's your first and last garment; it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with, and it should be treated with honor.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

A dancer, more than any other...

A dancer, more than any other human being, dies two deaths: the first, the physical when the powerfully trained body will no longer respond as you would wish. After all, I choreographed for myself. I never choreographed what I could not do. I changed steps in Medea and other ballets to accommodate the change. But I knew. And it haunted me. I only wanted to dance.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

I am absorbed in the magic of movement and light. Movement never lies. It is the magic of what I call the outer space of the imagination.

I get up, I fall down, all the while I am dancing.
