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

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
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 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
If they blow it [the world] up, that's not my business. My business is to work.
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
My mother was very sympathetic. She was the one who really gave me the courage to take my freedom.
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.
