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 »
President Lowell of Harvard appealed to students 'to prepare themselves for such services as the Governor may call upon them to re...nder.' Dean Greenough organized an 'emergency committee,' and Coach Fisher was reported by the press as having declared, 'To hell with football if men are needed.'LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There are some things, my dear Fisher, which do not bear much looking into. You undoubtedly have heard of the Siberian goat herder... who tried to discover the true nature of the sun. He stared up at the heavenly body until it made him blind. There are many things of this sort, including love and death.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I will catch Christ with a greased worm, And when the Prince of Darkness stalks... My bloodstream to its Stygian term . . . On water the Man-Fisher walks.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 »
Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ...ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Far over the ice, between the hemlock woods and snow-clad hills, stands the pickerel-fisher.... He does not make the scenery less ...wild, more than the jays and the muskrats, but stands there as a part of it, as the natives are represented in the voyages of early navigators, at Nootka Sound, and on the Northwest coast, with their furs about them, before they were tempted to loquacity by a scrap of iron. He belongs to the natural family of man, and is planted deeper in nature and has more root than the inhabitants of towns.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The Indian said that he had got his money by hunting, mostly high up the West Branch of the Penobscot, and toward the head of the ...St. John; he had hunted there from a boy, and knew all about that region. His game had been beaver, otter, black cat (or fisher), sable, moose, etc. Loup-cervier (or Canada lynx) were plenty yet in burnt grounds. For food in the woods, he uses partridges, ducks, dried moose-meat, hedgehog, etc. Loons, too, were good, only "bile 'em good." He told us at some length how he had suffered from starvation when a mere lad, being overtaken by winter when hunting with two grown Indians in the northern part of Maine, and obliged to leave their canoe on account of ice.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
