Niki de St. Phalle quotes:

The world has been experiencing a whole pattern of auto-destruction, whether in environmental disasters like Chernobyl or health disasters like AIDS.

It's my destiny to make a place where people can come and be happy: a garden of joy.

AIDS is a complex situation that's sure to bring out the best and the worst in people.

Painting calmed the chaos that shook my soul.

With long skirts, you can really buff. People open doors for you and everything.
