Andy Warhol

You have to be willing to get happy about nothing.

Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it__ exciting, and if you do it every day it__ exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it__ not good any more.

Business art is the step that comes after art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist. Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. During the hippie era people put down the idea of business. They__ say __oney is bad_ and __orking is bad_. But making money is art, and working is art - and good business is the best art.

Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, "So what.""My mother didn't love me." So what."My husband won't ball me. So what."I'm a success but I'm still alone." So what.I don't know how I made it through all the years before I learned how to do that trick. It took a long time for me to learn it, but once you do, you never forget.

You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.

After being alive, the next hardest work is having sex.

Sex is the biggest nothing of all time.

Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.

The child-like, gum-chewing naïveté , the glamour rooted in despair, the self admiring carelessness, the perfected otherness, the wispiness, the shadowy, voyeuristic, vaguely sinister aura, the pale, soft-spoken magical presence, the skin and bones_

Romance is finding your fantasy in people who don't have it.

Everybody must have a fantasy.

I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want.

I see art in everything. Your shoes. That car. This coffee cup. It's art if you see it as art.

I see art in everything. Your shoes. That car. This coffee cup. It's art if you see it as art. The best art are those dime novels. People will put those books in a museum one day. Artists will make paintings of them. They're beautiful. And for everyone. That's how I want my art to be.

Art is what you get away with

You know it's ART, when the check clears.

An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

The mystery was gone but the amazement was just starting.
