Little Thinkers Quotes: Andy Warhol (5 of 16)

Greetings to our blog-readers in Israel, Ethiopia (?!, well perhaps) and Kazakhstan.

Today, we continue our Little Thinkers series with a quote from the great American pop artist Andy Warhol, who was famous for painting soup cans as well as avant garde portraits of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Mao Tse-Tung, among others.

In art, the Baltimore Museum of Art recently recovered a Renoir that was stolen form the museum in the 1960s, the person who had the painting claimed that it was purchased for seven dollars at the Harpers Ferry Flea Market in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.

There is an Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.

Here is his quote:

"Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets."

Quote of the Week (Happy Birthday Nixon?!.)

Since his counterpart in this famous photo Elvis Presley would have turned 75 on Jan. 8, The National Archives in Washington, DC, recently held a talk about how the two met for the photograph.

Here is quote from my favorite Republican president (I am actually a Democrat, which probably explains why I admire him as much as I do!) Perhaps, we should ask Michelle Obama about this one:


"Any lady who is first lady likes being first lady, I don't care what they say, they like it!"
