Last night, I watched a documentary about Isadora Duncan. I have to admit that I never knew what a fantastic fighter for freedom this woman was. This is very embarrassing for someone who is dancing for 25 years. So I’m trying to make it a bit better with few of her quotes – as an inspiration for more people to rediscover her.
“It has taken me years of struggle, hard work and research to learn to make one simple gesture, and I know enough about the art of writing to realize that it would take as many years of concentrated effort to write one simple, beautiful sentence.
People do not live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
Perhaps he was a bit different from other people, but what really sympathetic person is not a little mad?
The finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet.
You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.
What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.
Je n’ai fait que danser ma vie.”
The Pool & the Boys
Thursday, May 29th, 2008I’ve just returned from my first visit to a public swimming pool this year. Every year, I newly get astonished by the growing number of well trained male bodies (not that I suffer from this trend). While girls are always same – pretty as long as the nature allows it – boys seem to work very hard on creating perfect bodies. Those must be hours and hours spent working out. Can it be that quietly, young men are also being influenced by the pictures of muscular men in the media? But just not whining (yet) like women are? Are we going to turn into a civilisation of pumped up (or mega thin) tired bodies with no brain and no time? Busy Kens and Barbies? Beautiful robots?
I’m going to eat some cake.
