All things I do are in every woman. Every woman is Medea. Every woman is Jocasta. There comes a time when a woman is a mother to her husband. Clytemnestra is every woman when she kills.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

You give all your life to doi...

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 161 quotes

It takes ten years, usually, to make a dancer. It takes ten years of handling the instrument, handling the material with which you are dealing, for you to know it completely.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

I have spent all my life with dance and being a dancer. It's permitting life to use you in a very intense way. Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable.

My childhood years were a balance of dark and light.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety, and the wonder of life. This is the function of the American dance.

There is fatigue so great that the body cries, even in its sleep.

I think comedy is the most difficult thing in the world, I really do.

Dancers have more bones than ...

Dancers have more bones than most people and on the days when you work hard you are sure that you have somehow accumulated more bones than you started with.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery - what it all means, the way the little bone near the ankle relates itself to the floor for a perfect stance, a perfect plie.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

It is difficult to see the gr...

It is difficult to see the great dance effects as they happen, to see them accurately, catch them fast in memory. It is even more difficult to verbalize them for critical discussion. The particular essence of a performance, its human sweep of articulate rhythm in space and in time has no specific terminology to describe it by.

Theater used to be a verb; it used to be an act. But nowadays it is just a noun. It is a place.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

No artist is pleased. There is...

No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a strange, divine dissatisfaction , a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

There is a force, a quickness that is translated through you into action. If you block it, the world will not have it...

I don't think in Art there is ever a precedent; each moment is a new one & terrifying & threatening & bursting with hope.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

The body is your instrument in...

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.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

I never thought of myself as being a genius. I don't know what genius is. I think a far better expression is a retriever, a lovely strong golden retriever that brings things back from the past, or retrieves things from our common blood memory

Martha Graham 161 quotes

I use the words gods and goddesses principally, I think, to mean beautiful bodies - bodies that are absolute instruments. And I believe in discipline, I believe in a very definite technique.
