More quotes by Louise Bourgeois
One must accept the fact that others don’t see what you do.
Louise Bourgeois
An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing.
Louise Bourgeois
My art is a form of restoration in terms of my feelings to myself and to others.
Louise Bourgeois
Everyone should have the right to marry. To make a commitment to love someone forever is a beautiful thing.
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
For me, sculpture is the body. My body is my sculpture.
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 have drawn my whole life. My parents were in the tapestry restoration business, and as a young girl, I would draw in the missing parts of the tapestry that needed to be re-woven. My ability to draw made me indispensable to my parents.
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
I was raised a Catholic. But I am not religious. In my work, I am interested in real flesh and blood.
Louise Bourgeois
It is a great privilege to be able to work with, and I suppose work off, my feelings through sculpture.
Louise Bourgeois
If you flatter me, or if you look at me the right way, I will kill myself to please you. It's very painful to be an overachiever.
Louise Bourgeois
I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands.
Louise Bourgeois
My childhood has never lost its magic, it has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama.
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
I am a searcher... I always was... and I still am... searching for the missing piece.
Louise Bourgeois
Art is a guarantee of sanity. That is the most important thing I have said.
Louise Bourgeois
I dont watch TV. I dont use a computer, a fax or a cellphone.
Louise Bourgeois
Horizontality is a desire to give up, to sleep. Verticality is an attempt to escape. Hanging and floating are states of ambivalence.
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
