Eva Zeisel Quotations

Art has more ego to it than what I do.

Beautiful things make people happy.

I made the things particularly because I wanted them to see the world.

Men have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use.

Everything I do is a direct creation of my hands, whether it is made in wood, plaster or clay.

When you have clay in your hands, it's hard to avoid making birds.

I don't know the difference between working and not working.

My designs are meant to attract the hand as well as the eye.

When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else.

When you begin your work, nothing exists. When it is finished it looks as if it just happened, spontaneously, effortlessly, convincingly. It looks as though it had been there all along.
