There are certain stereotypes that are offensive. Some of them don't worry me, though. For instance, I have always thought that Ma...mmy character in Gone with the Wind was mighty funny. And I just loved "Amos 'n' Andy" on the radio. So you see, I have enough confidence in myself that those things did not bother me. I could laugh.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's not...hing behind it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I thought it was a wonderfully conceptual act actually, to fire a replica pistol at a figurehead--the guy could have been working ...for Andy Warhol!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
They own Spode, Lowestoft, candelabra, Mantels, and hostess gowns, and sunburst clocks,... Turtle soup, Chippendale, red stain "hangings," Aubussons and Hattie Carnegie.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Of our major professional sports, golf alone retains the lyrical innocence with which it began centuries ago among Scottish herdsm...en slapping the gutta-percha ball around the bonny banks. Golf alone, despite huge purses, has remained immune to the violence and vulgarity that have turned other sports into spectacles of sanctioned mayhem. The game, as Andrew Carnegie believed, is an "indispensable adjunct of high civilization." No other group of professionals is self-ruled by an honor code in which players call penalties on themselves. Golf etiquette prevails. Can football etiquette or hockey etiquette be imagined? Golf has no Charles Barkley, who has spit at fans. It has no John McEnroe, the obscenity-shouter, nor does it have enforcers, late-hitters, or self-absorbed clods who moan that they aren't paid enough.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
One main condition of aristocratic life was present in the South and not in the North--personal responsibility to other human bein...gs for education and material welfare. (A Carnegie or a Ford, like a bureaucracy, molds the lives of millions without taking any responsibility.)LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Andy passes through things, but so do we. He sat down and had a talk with me. "You gotta decide what you want to do. Do you want t...o keep just playing museums from now on and the art festivals? Or do you want to start moving into other areas? Lou, don't you think you should think about it?" So I thought about it, and I fired him.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I realize that if it goes through it will be greatest jewel of my administration.... It is strange how one happens on this sort of... thing. When I made that speech in New York advocating the arbitration of questions, even those affecting the honor of a nation, I had no definite policy in view. I was inclined, if I remember rightly, merely to offset the antagonism to the four battleships for which I was then fighting, and I threw out that suggestion merely to draw the sting of the old [Andrew] Carnegie and other peace cranks, and now the suggestion threatens to become the main fact of my four years as president.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
