«Les défauts de l'esprit augmentent en vieillissant. Comme ceux du visage».
One time Keith arrived with his new lover Juan Rivera.....and well, I wanted to spend time with Keith, but not with Juan. I found being with Juan was a very big strain-he really had nothing to contribute. Frankly, I thought he was dragging Keith down. I thought Keith was surrounding himself with unintelligent people-it was freaking me out. He was surrounding himself with people that were using him-for his money, for his fame, and in return were letting him look at them, or play with them.»
«My grandfather Joan Miro was an artist seven days a week, 365 days a year»,
The glittering New York crowd that Andy Warhol loved paid tribute to him yesterday at one of his favorite New York places. More than 2,000 people crowded into St. Patrick's Cathedral for a memorial mass honoring the late artist.
«I don't make fun of catholicism. I deeply respect catholicism-it's mystery and fear and oppressiveness,
«There's no country in the world that loves «right now» like America does. I guess so many things are happening today that we're too busy to do anything but look, talk and think about all of it. We don't have time to remember the past, and we don't have the energy to imagine the future: we're so busy we can only think: Now!»
«THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF STUDIO IS THAT IT'S A DICTATORSHIP AT THE DOOR, AND A DEMOCRACY ON THE FLOOR».
The young have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things--and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning.... All their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything; they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.

«Pour moi la jalousie c'est une des douleurs extraordinaires de l'amour. Le mot bonheur je ne l'aime pas, je n'aime pas le dire, je n'aime pas l'entendre...Nous savons tous que l'amour, la passion, est un état d'exaltation absolument extraordinaire et que ça amène avec soi de la joie et de la terreur, du plaisir et des douleurs. Et l'une des douleurs de l'amour c'est la jalousie»

Sept 16 2016: A suicide bomber shouting 'Allahu akbar' (God is greatest) kills at least 25 in a Pakistani mosque.
L’art où ne l’attend pas – c’est-à-dire hors des centres spécialisés, des musées et autres festivals ? Ne rêvons pas trop. Nous vivons à l’ère de l’industrie culturelle, qui vise l’opinion de masse consensuelle, la convention et la normalisation du goût. Artistes à la mode, œuvres faciles, spectateurs bovins aguichés à coups de sanctifications médiatiques acritiques, lieux dédiés si possible spectaculaires (la récente Fondation Vuitton à l’orée du bois de Boulogne, la prochaine énième Fondation Pinault à l’ancienne Bourse de commerce de Paris…, outre les centres d’art institutionnels, en nombre) : on en est là. L’objectif, dont l’Occident fait dorénavant son fonds de commerce culturel, c’est le «Festivus Festivus», comme le désignait le regretté Philippe Muray. Il faut que l’art soit une fête qui se consomme comme se consomment aujourd’hui les séries TV, les sushis sans gluten, la naturopathie ou les romans de Houellebecq, Pancol ou Musso, en vrac.
“Youth ends when egotism does; maturity begins when one lives for others.”
“This is why I think that the most important thing the government should do for people with no place to live is build huge modern bathouses where you could go and have both a shower and a washer-dryer to get you and your clothes clean at the same time. And there would be a time limit, or otherwise people would start living in there.”
It was a Paloma Picasso day. Went to breakfast at Tiffany's for her. The jewelry was pretty but I have the same stuff from the forties. It's copies from the forties. And Paloma did her little heart-shaped Elsa thing. It was expensive stuff-$27 000 for a bracelet.

The city of the three monotheist religion. And Chinese people are one fifth of the world population but God never talked to them back then. No suspect.... AT ALL!!!!
All the art movements that have appeared since the 1950s were anticipated by Rauschenberg and co, often in collaboration with their composer friend John Cage. Rauschenberg helped to invent conceptual art when he borrowed a drawing by Willem de Kooning and promptly erased it. His 1961 “portrait” of the gallerist Iris Clert is a telegram that simply states: “This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.”

Des milliers de mexicains ont manifesté contre le mariage gay hier. Les idiots utiles de la go-gauche
Quand on aime, on aime tout. Tout se voit en bleu quand on porte des lunettes bleues. L'amour, comme le reste, n'est qu'une façon de voir et de sentir. C'est un point de vue un peu plus élevé, un peu plus large ; on y découvre des perspectives infinies et des horizons sans bornes.
It's better to love without being loved than the other way around.
“Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.” »
«Under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.»
It's very easy to see if someone in his 20's is smart or dumb even before you talk to him. The smart ones are narcissistic in a playful and seductive way. The dumb ones are also narcissistic but in a completely self-centered sterile way.
An elegant woman is a woman who despises you and has no hair under her arms.”
«I've always been fascinated by Hollywood movie stars. I had an idea in the fifties, when I was a starving window dresser from Pittsburgh, to sell stars' underwear-five dollars clean-fifty dollars dirty».
“I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.”
“It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating."
Never ask people why they are sexually attracted to you in the first place. It will never be what you think or hope for...
D'un côté l'islam pour qui la religion est toute la culture. De l'autre, l'occident pour qui la culture c'est tout, sauf la connaissance approfondie de l'histoire des religions. Cherchez l'erreur...

Mixing work and pleasure. One of the most valuable goal in life.
A band of Islamic vigilantes has admitted to roaming the streets of East London, confronting and threatening to kill non-believers in an effort to enforce Sharia law. Three men have pleaded guilty to related charges after self-proclaimed “Muslim Patrols” attacked, intimidated and threatened to stab members of the public in an area of London that hosted the 2012 Olympic Games.
«Then Le Jardin opened. It was the prototype of discos everywhere from Saturday Night Fever to Studio 54. It was big but exclusive. It was trashy but chic. It was gay but it wasn't. It was the first place where the waiters were stars. They were young, good-looking and dressed in basketball shorts. They were All-american. But they danced with the customers-male or female. The music, the lights, the decor and the people all worked together like magic to create the most glamorous atmosphere».
«If you live in rock and roll, as I do, you see the reality of sex, of male lust and women being aroused by male lust. It attracts women. It doesn't repel them.»
«Halston is the first All-American fashion designer. He never copies Paris. He just gives the American woman what she wants: simple clothes that are easy to care for-but look rich.»
