Andy Warhol

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

"Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?"

"Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."

"I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning."

"Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery."

"Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."

"We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art."

"People should fall in love with their eyes closed."

"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

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

"Land really is the best art."

"You have to be willing to get happy about nothing."

"An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have."

"I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything should just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment'."
