More quotes by Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
True strength is delicate.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
If they blow it [the world] up, that's not my business. My business is to work.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
What we start with is a conviction to fulfill our being. Horses, trees fulfill themselves. Why shouldn't people.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
The outside wold pressures you into a mold, but if you don't accept that - you gamble with life. Call it gambling.
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 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
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
Everytime I put on clothes, I’m creating a picture.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson

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 knew that a day I took away from the work did not make me too happy.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I see no reason why I should tickle stones or waste time on polishing bronze.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
A white lace curtain on the window was for me as important as a great work of art. This gossamer quality, the reflection, the form, the movement. I learned more about art from that than I did in school.
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
A woman may not hit a ball stronger than a man, but it is different. I prize that difference.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I never feel age... If you have creative work you don't have age or time.
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.
