Martha Graham Men Quotations

the instrument by which the dance expresses itself is also the instrument by which life is lived: the human body.

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

My dancing is not an attempt to interpret life in the literary sense. It is an affirmation of life through movement.

I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man--the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.

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.

Dance is the landscape of man's soul.

Modern dance isn't anything except one thing in my mind: the freedom of women in America.

Art is eternal for it reveals the inner landscape which is the soul of man.

Nothing is more revealing than movement.

Dancers today can do anything; the technique is phenomenal. The passion and the meaning to their movement can be another thing.
