Words of wisdom from Andy Warhol.

  • I like boring things.
  • The world fascinates me.
  • Everybody must have a fantasy.
  • I am a deeply superficial person.
  • I think everybody should like everybody.
  • The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.
  • I don't know where the artificial stops and the real starts.
  • I just think any picture you take is a good picture.
  • Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
  • I wonder if it's possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.
  • I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
  • People should fall in love with their eyes closed. Just close your eyes. Don't look and it's magic.
  • A picture means I know where I was every minute. That's why I take pictures. It's a visual diary.
  • I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.
  • Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
  • Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you've got your sound...We're musical primitives.
  • It's the movies that have been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.
  • People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.
  • Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will just think what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike; that seems to be what is happening.
