Famous quotes containing the words john a and/or simpson:

    I feel the carousel starting slowly
    And going faster and faster: desk, papers, books,
    Photographs of friends, the window and the trees
    Merging in one neutral band that surrounds
    Me on all sides, everywhere I look.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I’m afraid this man will kill me some day.
    —Nicole Brown Simpson (1957–1994)
