"They brought me back from the dead—literally, because I'm told that at one point I was gone...As I was coming down from my operation, I heard a television going somewhere and the words 'Kennedy' and 'assassin' and 'shot' over and over again. Robert Kennedy had been shot...It was all so strange to me, this background of another shooting and a funeral—I couldn't distinguish between life and death yet, anyway, and here was a person being buried on the television right in front of me." Andy Warhol
