More quotes by Louise Bourgeois
It is not a torment to be an artist. It is a privilege.
Louise Bourgeois
My life has been regulated by insomnia.
Louise Bourgeois
I dont watch TV. I dont use a computer, a fax or a cellphone.
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
My knives are like a tongue - I love, I do not love, I hate. If you don’t love me, I am ready to attack. I am a double-edged knife.
Louise Bourgeois
It is a great privilege to be able to work with, and I suppose work off, my feelings through sculpture.
Louise Bourgeois
In my sculpture, it's not an image I am seeking, it's not an idea. My goal is to re-live a past emotion. My art is an exorcism, and beauty is something I never talk about.
Louise Bourgeois
Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.
Louise Bourgeois
Art is a way of recognizing oneself.
Louise Bourgeois
I am a searcher... I always was... and I still am... searching for the missing piece.
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
Art is a guarantee of sanity.
Louise Bourgeois
One must accept the fact that others don’t see what you do.
Louise Bourgeois
My childhood has never lost its magic, it has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama.
Louise Bourgeois
Tell your own story, and you will be interesting.
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
My work disturbs people and nobody wants to be disturbed. They are not fully aware of the effect my work has on them, but they know it is disturbing.
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
Sometimes it is necessary to make a confrontation-and I like that.
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
