Some of us come on earth seeing – some of us come on earth seeing color. (Louise Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Colour category:
I fell in love with black; it contained all color. It wasn't a negation of color... Black is the most aristocratic color of all... You can be quiet, and it contains the whole thing. (Louise Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Confidence category:
I was discouraged about life, discouraged about people being blind, but I don't think I had a day that I ever questioned creativity. There has never been a day like that. (Louise Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Danger category:
And I said, 'Well, who cares? I'd rather do it and see what it's all about.' I don't want the safe way. The safe way limits you. (Louise Nevelson)

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 Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Education category:
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 Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Expectation category:
I don't demand that all work be a masterpiece. What I am doing is the right thing for me – that is what I am and this is living. It reflects me and I reflect it. (Louise Nevelson)

Louise Nevelson - From the Gender category:
I feel that women 'and men,' but I mean the 'individual,' can be totally feminine and still be totally powerful. (Louise Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Gender category:
I feel totally female. I didn't compete with men and I don't want to look like a man! I love being a lady and dressing up and masquerading and wearing all the fineries. I'm breaking down the idea that the artist has to look poor, with berets. (Louise Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Generosity category:
-on Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo...
Diego and Frida had open house. In that house you'd see a king and you'd see a laborer. He never made a distinction - never. There was nothing he wouldn't give you. (Louise Nevelson)

Louise Nevelson - From the Profession category:

Louise Nevelson - From the Risk category:
The outside world pressures you into a mold, but if you don't accept that - you gamble with life. Call it gambling. (Louise Nevelson)

I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of working. (Louise Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Work category:
I believe in my work and 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. Everything must fall by the wayside by comparison. (Louise Nevelson)
Louise Nevelson - From the Work category:
I knew that a day I took away from the work did not make me too happy. (Louise Nevelson)
