Famous quotes containing the word neutral:

    “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)
