FAMOUS QUOTES BY JENNY HOLZER

I am so inspired by the written word, specifically quotes, and more specifically, if the quotes come from really strong women figures. Jenny Holzer is an American artist whose main focus is the use of written words in relation to public spaces. Although she has produced numerous quotes herself, she also chooses to reproduce art from the quotes of others. Her work focuses on war, famine, neglect, feminism, sexuality and death (all of my favorite topics)! Some of my favorite Jenny Holzer quotes are, "YOU MUST DISAGREE WITH AUTHORITY FIGURES," "YOU ARE A VICTIM OF THE RULES YOU LIVE BY, "ROMANTIC LOVE WAS INVENTED TO MANIPULATE WOMEN," and "RELIGION CAUSES AS MANY PROBLEMS AS IT SOLVES." Here are some instillations that she produces from her innovative quotes.
