Famous quotes containing the words johnny and/or warren:

    “Did Johnny look flashy?
    Yes, his white-on-white shirt and tie were luminous.
    His trousers were creased like knives to the tops of his shoes
    And his yellow straw hat came down to his dark glasses.”
    —David Wagoner (b. 1926)

    “She blinks and croaks, like a toad or a Norn, in the horrible light,
    And rattles her crutch, which may put forth a small bloom, perhaps
    white.”
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
