QUOTES BY LOUISE NEVELSON

True strength is delicate.

I never feel age...If you have creative work, you don't have age or time.

I have made my world and it is a much better world than I ever saw outside.

WHAT I WISH FOR YOU TODAY

Achieve a sense of true strength and spirit (and that I have found) comes by way of life experience(s), love of self, and support of friends, family, & framily.
