“You have to be objective about money to use it fairly. It doesn’t make
you any better or any more useful than any other person. Even if you use
your money to help people…that doesn’t make you better than somebody
who has no money but is sympathetic and genuinely loving to fellow human
beings.” ― Keith Haring/ Keith Haring Journals
Andy Warhol, “Keith Haring”, 1985

Andy Warhol’s autobiography
He said, “If I had only learned this decades earlier, I would have been so much happier. I call it the ‘So what therapy.’
So your mother didn’t love you?
So what.
So you girlfriend won’t fuck you?
So what.
So you’re rich but you’re lonely?
So what.
– Andy Warhol

We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way.

“Using the design of the American flag took care of a great deal for me
because I didn’t have to design it. So I went on to similar things like
the targets – things the mind already knows. That gave me room to work
on other levels.”
Flag, 1954-55 by Jasper Johns
