More quotes by Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
It's a hell of a thing to be born, and if you're born you're at least entitled to your own self.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
A woman may not hit a ball stronger than a man, but it is different. I prize that difference.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I feel totally female. I didn't compete with men and I don't want to look like a man! I love being a lady and dressing up and masquerading and wearing all the fineries. I'm breaking down the idea that the artist has to look poor, with berets.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I knew that a day I took away from the work did not make me too happy.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
Everytime I put on clothes, I’m creating a picture.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
In my studio I'm as happy as a cow in her stall. That's the only place where everything is all right.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
It gave me great pleasure to think that I could take wood, make it good, and make people like Rockefeller buy it with paper money.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
Character is the architect of the being.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
You know when I decided to become professional - that means to expose yourself naked to the world with the other creative minds - I said, 'I'm going into areas I don't know. I might just fall right down to hell and kill myself.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I see no reason why I should tickle stones or waste time on polishing bronze.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I never feel age... If you have creative work you don't have age or time.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
It is as hard to take success as it is failure.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I feel that women 'and men,' but I mean the 'individual,' can be totally feminine and still be totally powerful.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of working.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I've taught, and the first thing I did when I taught art, was not to teach art.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I was given the gifts of the artist, and the trouble that goes with them: So I have that blessing, and there was never a time thatI questioned it or doubted it.... For forty years, I wanted to jump out of windows.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
Some of us come on earth seeing – some of us come on earth seeing color.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
In the first grade, I already knew the pattern of my life. I didn't know the living of it, but I knew the line… From the first day in school until the day I graduated, everyone gave me one hundred plus in art. Well, where do you go in life? You go to the place where you got one hundred plus.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
