    Glad to see you found it…and you’re right, I was misquoting it…*sigh* I stand corrected – have you located the quote about the idosycracies yet?

    This is a great quote! I guess in all the revolution of the sixties, Warhol found some honesty into the profession. But there is more to it all than that…

    For the curious ‘Stina:

    “People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting.”

    Wow, that sparked a memory. I believe you provided this quote for me at the time of grade 12 graduation. Instead of putting it in the yearbook, I elected for Stastook to read it as I was going up to receive my diploma. I think the dashes ended up confusing him, because he definitely didn’t say it right.
