More quotes by Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
A whisper can be stronger, as an atom is stronger, than a whole mountain.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.
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
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
I believe in my work and in the joy of it. You have to be with the work and the work has to be with you. It absorbs you totally and you absorb it totally.
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
Character is the architect of the being.
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 make collages. I join the shattered world creating a new harmony.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I never feel age... If you have creative work you don't have age or time.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I have made my world and it is a much better world than I ever saw outside.
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
I feel that women 'and men,' but I mean the 'individual,' can be totally feminine and still be totally powerful.
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
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
I see no reason why I should tickle stones or waste time on polishing bronze.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I still want to do my work. I still want to do my livingness. And I have lived. I have been fulfilled. I recognized what I had, and I never sold it short. And I ain't through yet.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity.
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
