Louise Bourgeois

Art is a guarantee of sanity.

I need my memories. They are my documents.

The spider is a repairer. If you break the web, she doesn't get mad. She weaves it again.

My childhood has never lost its magic, it has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama.

The work is not a story, it is a feeling.

I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands.

The artist is a person who is able to express the unconscious.

Fear is a very creative state.

The subject of pain is the business of art.

I want to be understood. I want to be loved.

The past is never over.

Art is a way of recognizing yourself.

My work is a diary of my emotions.

The creative act is a secret between the artist and the material.

I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.

The world is a very dangerous place, and you have to protect yourself.

Art is a way of surviving.

I have been to hell and back. And let me tell you, it was wonderful.

The work is a confession.

The art of today is the art of tomorrow.
