In some circles where very heavy people think they have very heavy brains, words like charming and clever and pretty are all put-downs all the lighter things in life, which are the most important things, are put down.

More quotes by Andy Warhol
I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.
Andy Warhol
Land really is the best art.
Andy Warhol
Perception precedes reality.
Andy Warhol
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.
Andy Warhol
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
Andy Warhol
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
Andy Warhol
Living in New York City gives people real incentives to want things that nobody else wants.
Andy Warhol
Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery. People are working every minute. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
Andy Warhol
Everybody winds up kissing the wrong person good-night.
Andy Warhol
The symptom of love is when some of the chemicals inside you go bad. So there must be something in love because your chemicals do tell you something.
Andy Warhol
If you're not trying to be real, you don't have to get it right. That's art.
Andy Warhol
I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.
Andy Warhol
I met someone on the street who said wasn't it great that we're going to have a movie star for president, that it was so Pop, and (laughs) when you think about it like that, it is great, it's so American.
Andy Warhol
If something's going to happen for you, it will, you can't make it happen. And it never does happen until you're past the point where you care whether it happens or not. I guess it's for our own good that it always happens that way, because after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy.
Andy Warhol
Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
Andy Warhol
I do mostly portraits. So it's just people's faces, not really any ideas.
Andy Warhol
You meet rich people and you hang around with them, and one night they've had a few drinks and they say 'I'll buy it!' Then they tell their friends, 'You must have this person's work, darling,' and that's all you need. That's all it takes. Get it?
Andy Warhol
You need to let little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.
Andy Warhol
The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.
Andy Warhol
Space is all one space and thought is all one thought, but my mind divides its spaces into spaces into spaces and thoughts into thoughts into thoughts. Like a large condominium. Occasionally I think about the one Space and the one Thought, but usually I don't. Usually I think about my condominium.
Andy Warhol
