Isadora Duncan
"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."

"أيتها المرأة، تعالي إلينا، إلى أعيننا المتشوقة للجمال، والمنهكة من قبح الحضارة. تعالي في أثواب بسيطة، دعِينا نرى من تحتها خطوط الجسد وتناسقه، وارقصي لنا. ارقصي لنا حلاوة الحياة. أعيدي إلينا حلاوة وجمال الرقص الأصيل، أعيدي إلينا بهجة رؤية جسد المرأة البسيط، العفوي، النقي. لقد جاءت هذه الدعوة العظيمة، وعلى النساء أن يسمعنها ويجبنها."

"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."
