Isadora Duncan

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

I have only danced my life.

My first idea of movement, of the dance, certainly came from the rhythm of the waves.

I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years.

If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it.

You were wild once. Don't let them tame you!

Isadora DuncanCurtain speech, Symphony Hall, Boston, 1922

The Dance is a religion and should have its worshippers.

Isadora DuncanQuoted in Victor Seroff, The Real Isadora
