"At the end of time, when I die, i don't want to leave any leftovers. And I don't want to be a leftover. I was watching TV this week and I saw a lady go into a ray machine and disappear. That was wonderful, beacuse matter is energy and she just disappeared. That could be a really American invention, the best American invention---to be able to disappear. I mean, that way they couldn't say you died, they couldn't say you were murdered, they couldn't say you committed suicide over somebody"  Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B & Back Again), A Harvest Book, 1975, p. 112-3
