«À 95 ans, malgré les guerres et les atrocités que j’ai vues, j’aime la vie plus que jamais. Chaque jour, je m’émerveille d’un rien, en regardant les feuilles des arbres, un papillon qui se pose sur ma fenêtre, en écoutant les symphonies de Beethoven… La nature, l’amour, l'art tout m’emplit de joie».
-Edgar Morin.

KEITH HARING ON MADONNA
«I knew Madonna from before. We were in that scene in the lower East Village at the same time. She was just starting. She used to go out with Jellybean [Benitez, now a record producer], and I'd see her sing at the Fun House, where he was the OJ. Bur I met the others through Andy. He had a way of sort of making things happen around him. I don't go to those parties much anymore; I'm not leading the same glamorous life. I don't miss it a lot, but when it started happening, I was young and naive, and it was really exciting. It was like incredible to go, you know, to meet Michael Jackson backstage with Andy. When he brought me to Yoko' s apartment the first time, it was incredible. You can't believe that you're there. The ultimate one was a dinner at Yoko's. I brought Madonna and the artist Martin Burgoyne. Andy was already there. Bob Dylan was there. David Bowie was there. And Iggy Pop. Just sort of in the kitchen. At first you are more in awe of things like that, but you adapt really quickly.»
PHILOSOPHY FOR THE 21st CENTURY: SEX
If someone tell you that no always means no for sexual matters this person clearly know nothing about gay life.

WARHOLIAN QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Sex is interesting, but it's not totally important. I mean it's not even as important (physically) as excretion. A man can go seventy years without a piece of ass, but he can die in a week without a bowel movement.“
-Charles Bukowski
THE ONLY DONALD TRUMP IDEOLOGY
He wanted trophy wives. He got them. He wanted to live in a trophy tower. He build one for himself. He wanted the ultimate trophy house. He just got it.

WOMEN VS WOMYN!
There are no reason to be happy about the Trump election.
There are plenty of reasons to be happy of the defeat of the stupid lesbian feminist lobby though.
ANDY WARHOL ON PRO WRESTLING: «IT'S ENTERTAINMENT, IT'S SHOW BUSINESS' IT'S CHIC»
People say pro-wrestling is in decline. Wrong. People in America just voted to have the political version of the World Wrestling Federation of the 1980's with Macho Man and Elizabeth in the White House.

«ANDY THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT JEWS» -BOB COLACELLO
-When Trump won the Republican nomination Benjamin Netanyahu said he he was thrilled and wanted to meet him.
-During the US campaign Trump declared: « No one is more pro Israel than me».
-Again during the US campaign Trump declared he would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
-During the last Canadian election Justin Trudeau was elected with 62% of the muslim vote. Some muslims leaders then called to vote for Trudeau in order to beat Stephen Harper and the most Pro-Israel party Canada had ever known.
-Last year Benjamin Netanyahu declared it was very important for Israel to invest more in Asia because Europe was increasingly under a wave of sweeping islamization.
-Hilary Clinton was criticized for having some muslim advisers a little too close to her.
-The trend of more jewish voters to the Republican party will only increase over the coming years as the number of muslims will grow in the US and within the Democratic Party.

«GOOD BUSINESS IS THE BEST ART»
In the early 1980s, the designer Tommy Hilfiger met the artist Andy Warhol. “He brought me to his Factory and showed me his art,” Hilfiger recalled on a telephone call. “At the time, I wasn’t in a position to buy it, which is too bad, because it would have been a great investment.”

«POP ART IS FOR EVERYONE»
"I went to art school, I studied pop culture, I know everything about music and iconography, pop, cultural and religious," she says. "I'm self-manufactured. . .. (I look) at it not as poison or lowbrow, but looking at it in a very highbrow way, and self-making myself to be a powerful visionary and say something that will genuinely speak to people."
-Lady GaGa
