Энди Уорхол: Цитаты на английском языке

“After being alive, the next hardest work is having sex. Of course, for some people it isn't work because they need the exercise and they've got the energy for the sex and the sex gives them even more energy. Some people get energy from sex and some people lose energy from sex. I have found that it's too much work. But if you have the time for it, and if you need that exercise—then you should do it. But you could really save yourself a lot of trouble either way by first figuring out whether you're an energy-getter or an energy-loser. As I said, I'm an energy-loser. But I can understand it when I see people running around trying to get some.”

“Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.”

“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, "So what." That's one of my favorite things to 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.”

“Art is what you can get away with.”

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

“People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.”

“The idea is not to live forever, it is to create something that will.”

“Kiss me with your eyes.”

“I don't believe in it, because you're not around to know that it's happened. I can't say anything about it because I'm not prepared for it.”

“They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”

“When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them.”

“As soon as you stop wanting something, you get it.”

“The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting”

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

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

“I wonder if it's possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.”

“Beauty is a sign of intelligence.”
