"People said:

'See, it is natural dancing.'

But with its freedom, its accordance with natural movement, there was always a design too - even in nature you find sure, even rigid design.

'Natural' dancing should mean only that the dance never goes against nature, not that anything is left to chance."

Isadora Duncan, The Art of The Dance, p. 79

"Every child that is born in civilization has a right to a heritage of beauty...

There is no more simple and direct means than to give art to the people ... than to transform his own children into living works of art."

Isadora Duncan, The Art of The Dance, p. 88

"Let us first teach little children to breathe, to vibrate, to feel and to become one with the general harmony and movement of nature. Let us first produce a beautiful human being, a dancing child."

Isadora Duncan, The Art of The Dance, p. 77
