More quotes by Louise Bourgeois
One must accept the fact that others don’t see what you do.
Louise Bourgeois
My life has been regulated by insomnia.
Louise Bourgeois
The feminists took me as a role model, as a mother. It bothers me. I am not interested in being a mother. I am still a girl trying to understand myself.
Louise Bourgeois
I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole.
Louise Bourgeois
You must put the essence of what you want to say into a painting. The rest is arbitrary. Chosen with discernment, but chosen, and choice involves elimination.
Louise Bourgeois
I dont watch TV. I dont use a computer, a fax or a cellphone.
Louise Bourgeois
Clothing is . . . an exercise in memory. It makes me explore the past: how did I feel when I wore that. They are like signposts in the search for the past.
Louise Bourgeois
A work of art doesn't have to be explained.
Louise Bourgeois
An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing.
Louise Bourgeois
A work of art doesn't have to be explained. If you do not have any feeling about this, I cannot explain it to you. If this doesn't touch you, I have failed.
Louise Bourgeois
When I was growing up, all the women in my house were using needles. I've always had a fascination with the needle, the magic power of the needle. The needle is used to repair damage. It's a claim to forgiveness. It is never aggressive, it's not a pin.
Louise Bourgeois
I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total.
Louise Bourgeois
Art is a guarantee of sanity.
Louise Bourgeois
Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented - which is what fear and anxiety do to a person - into something whole.
Louise Bourgeois
For me, sculpture is the body. My body is my sculpture.
Louise Bourgeois
Tell your own story, and you will be interesting.
Louise Bourgeois
Everywhere in the modern world there is neglect, the need to be recognized, which is not satisfied. Art is a way of recognizing oneself, which is why it will always be modern.
Louise Bourgeois
My art is a form of restoration in terms of my feelings to myself and to others.
Louise Bourgeois
Art is a guarantee of sanity. That is the most important thing I have said.
Louise Bourgeois
If you are resentful, you keep the thing alive. So the way to go on is to get rid of it, in order to forgive in order to forget.
Louise Bourgeois
