Famous quotes containing the words van and/or angeles:

    Religion, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you’ve got to help pay for piping. And the Piper!
    —Abigail Van Buren (b. 1916)

    Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.
    Joan Didion (b. 1935)
