I Agree... maybe.

“I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?”
~Andy Warhol

“Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.”

“The worst thing that being an artist could do to you would be that it would make you slightly unhappy constantly.”

“You can produce a mental clarity in yourself when you do something hard simply because it is hard.”

“When I make a joke it is inherent to a story. Deep, situational and emotional jokes based on what is relevant and have a point. Not just one interchangeable joke after another.”
~Eric Cartman

“The only reason anyone ever does anything is out of boredom, spite, or laziness.”
~Jeff Rose

“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you.”

“It’s always easier to get forgiveness than permission.”

“Ones person’s barbarian is another person’s just doing what everybody else is doing. The question is, whom do we wish to blame? More precisely, whom do we believe we have the right to blame?”
~Susan Sontag

“I want to express the world that I am living in, not the entire world but as a fragmented world… The question is not who is the victim, who is guilty, nor what is it about. It’s about the entire history and not just the fact… I want to confront the chaos… and the unclarity of the world, not by bringing peace or quietness… but by working in the chaos and in the unclarity of the world. I want to do something charged that reaches beauty in its density.”
~Thomas Hirschhorn

“If god told me to sacrifice my son I’d tell him to fuck off.”
~Brad Neely

“I’m not sure satire is the key to my work. Comedians manipulate and make fun of reality, whereas I actually think that reality is far more provocative than my art. You should walk on the street and see real beggars, not my fake ones. You should witness a real skinhead rally. I just fake it, I’m always borrowing pieces- crumbs really- of everyday reality. If you think my work is very provocative, it means that reality is extremely provocative, and we just don’t react to it. Maybe we no longer pay attention to the way we live in the world… we are increasingly anaesthetized.”
~Maurizio Cattelan

“I don’t want them to think! That would be the kiss of death… I just want them to know I’m thinking and I know that laughter opens the doors to perception. It… it allows a thought to get in because you’re completely unguarded and Zen-line when you’re laughing.”
~George Carlin
