"I was walking on Bali and i saw a bunch of people on a clearing having a ball. Because somebody they really liked had just died. And i realised that everything is just how you decide to think about it. Sometimes people let the same problems make them miserable for years, when they should just say "So what?". That's one of my favourite things to say: "So what?". I don't know how i made it through all the years before i learned to do that trick. It took a long time for me to learn it. But once you do, you never forget".

"Dying is the most embarassing thing that can ever happen to you. Because someone has to take care about all your details. You've died and someone has to take care of your body, make the funeral arrangements, pick up the casket, and the service, and the cementery, and the clothes for you to wear, and do the makeup. You'd like to help them and most of all you'd like to do the whole thing yourself. But you're dead, so you can't. Here you've spent the whole life trying to make money to take care of yourself so you won't bother anybody else with your problems. And then you wind up dumping the biggest problem ever in somebody else's life. It's a shame. I never understood that when you died you didn't just vanish and everything could just keep going the way it was, only you just won't be there".           Andy Warhol
