"So it begins in the life of a woman who is wanting. She does not want for a man,
nor for a child. She wants to be filled like a cornucopia past the point of overflow.
The issue is emptiness of the sort that grows from the inside out regardless of one's
productivity, like hunger when it is for love or creative work or some other soul food."

"An artist needs to become familiar with that which is most hidden from the self
by the self for this one thing which one fears to
know is often the driving force in
one's life. These recognitions seen in art are the difference between decent
and extraordinary
and great."- Pat Stier

A painted picture is like a vehicle. One can either sit in the driveway and take it apart or one
can get in it and go somewhere".

"I am still trying to find out what painting is, and the only way to do that is to be alone.
The loneliness has to do with what you do."

"The problem lies not so much with some feminists' concept of what femininity
is, but rather with their misconception -- shared with the public at large -- of what
art is: with the naïve idea that art is the direct, personal expression of individual
emotional experience, a translation of personal life into visual terms. Art is almost never
that, great art never is.".

"Art is still the only place in the world where you can do exactly what you want if you
pay the price which is having no one
else want it."

"I can not be so many things, I can not be something for everyone. . . woman,
beautiful, artist, wife, housekeeper, cook, saleslady all these things. I cannot even
be myself, not know who I am. I must find something clear, stable and peaceful within
myself within which I can feel and find some comfort and satisfaction."
- Eva Hesse

"When you begin a picture you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on
guard against these. Destroy the thing, do it over several times. In each
destroying of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather
condenses it, makes it more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds.
Otherwise you become your own connoisseur."
