Famous quotes containing the words shot and/or tower:

    “Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there—I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life.... Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.”
    —Andy Warhol (1928–1987)

    “Resignedly beneath the sky
    The melancholy waters lie.
    So blend the turrets and shadows there
    That all seem pendulous in air,
    While from a proud tower in the town
    Death looks gigantically down.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
