Your mail could've waited." Daemon followed me into the kitchen. "What is it? Just books?" Grabbing the OJ from the fridge, I sighed. People who didn't heart books didn't understand.
Jennifer L. Armentrout (Onyx (Lux, #2))
The irony of American history is the tendency of good white Americanas to presume racial innocence. Ignorance of how we are shaped racially is the first sign of privilege. In other words. It is a privilege to ignore the consequences of race in America.

Därför tänker jag bara vara kär i honom ungefär till torsdag, eller kanske fredag. Sen ska jag bli klok igen, men till dess, oj jag är så kär i honom så jag tror jag spricker!

This would be the Michigan version of the OJ trial, this time, with a guilty verdict.
Mark M. Bello (Betrayal High (Zachary Blake Legal Thriller, #5))
He humphed and grabbed a carton of milk, then chugged directly from the cardboard spout. Mallory and I watched him, the same grimace on both our faces. Sure, I did the same thing with OJ, but he was a boy, and it was milk. That was just gross.
Chloe Neill (Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, #2))
There were more courses than O.J. has alibis.
Erin Gruwell (The Freedom Writers Diary)
A sonnet might look dinky, but it was somehow big enough to accommodate love, war, death, and O.J. Simpson. You could fit the whole world in there if you shoved hard enough.

O.J. Simpson (If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer)
Please," she begs. "Surely there must be some spell—there must be something, anything. Please, Eliasz, please. Tell me how to save you." "Liska, Liseczka. Oj, lisku." He raises her hand to his lips, kisses her knuckles in a final act of worship. His smile is that of a man complete. "I am already saved.
A.B. Poranek (Where the Dark Stands Still)
For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle-as we did in the OJ trial-or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina-or as a fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright's sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she's playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain the general election regardless of his policies. We can do that. But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we'll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change. That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, "Not this time.

It's strange. They say people don't change, but I say they're wrong. People change, but it's usually for the worse.

And one mimosa, light on the OJ.' 'Our orange juice is freshly squeezed.' 'Either way. A whisper of juice. I'm serious. You can really just wave an orange over the glass and that's probably still too much juice.

It also made me think about the fact that all relationships are messy, and that everyone suffers through their fair share of pain- and that sometimes more than their fair share.

Oj budi svoj! Al’ brat ti budi braći, I radi za svijet, al’ ne slušaj pljeska; I ljubi svijet, al’ ne nadaj se plaći, Jer hvala ljudska voda je vrh pijeska, U tvojoj svijesti hvala ti je trudu, S poštena tekar lica teče pošten znoj, I nijesi, brate, živio zaludu, Kad jesi svoj!

Still, I've heard it said that all stories are basically love stories, and my story is no exception. This is a love story, too. And, like a lot of love stories, it doesn't have a happy ending.

- Pieprzyłaś się z nim, tak? - Musisz być taka wulgarna? - Oj, zapomniałam, że ty podczas stosunku zawsze słyszysz dźwięki kwartetu skrzypcowego w tle. Nie chciałabym zagłuszyć skrzypiec, ale lepiej żebyś zbudziła się z tych marzeń.
Alastair MacNeill (Double-blind)
Let's face the reality that if OJ Simpson had been poor or even lower-middle-class there would have been no media attention. Justice was never a central issue. Our nation's tabloid passion to know about the lives of the rich made class a starting point.

A mój mąż...Dobrze, że go nie ma, jest w pracy. Surowo mi przykazał...Wie, że lubie opowiadać o naszej miłości...Jak w ciągu jednej nocy uszyłam sobie z bandaży sukienke ślubną.Sama. A bandaże zbierałyśmy z dziewczynami przez cały miesiąc. To były zdobyczne bandaże...Mialam prawdziwą suknię ślubną! Zachowała sie fotografia:jestem w tej sukience i w butach, ale butów nie widać, tylko ja pamiętam, że byłam w butach wojskowych. A pasek zmajstrowałam ze starej furażerki...Doskonały pasek. Ale cóż to ja...O takich głupstwach...Mąż zabronił mi pisnąć choćby slowo o milości, ani mru-mru, mam opowiedzieć tylko o wojnie. Taki jest surowy. Uczył mnie z mapą...Dwa dni mnie uczył, gdzie był jaki front...Gdzie walczyła nasza jednostka... Zaraz wezmę, zapisałam to sobie. Odczytam pani. Czemu się smiejesz? Oj, jak ładnie się smiejesz! Ja tez sie śmiałam. No, bo jaki ze mnie historyk! Lepiej ci pokaże zdjęcie, na którym jestem w sukience z bandaży...Tak się tam sobie podobam...W białej sukience..."

If we want our worship, or attempts at worship, to mean anything, we have to strive to conform it to the nature and will of God, and not to the mood or taste of the [current] century.
Harold O.J. Brown (The Protest of a Troubled Protestant)
Christian faith must be personal in the sense that each person individually understands the historic faith and personally commits himself to it, but not in the sense that he decides what it should be.
Harold O.J. Brown (The Protest of a Troubled Protestant)
In the final analysis, the purity of the church cannot be guaranteed by decrees - it can only be guaranteed by church members who know their faith, both its vital elements and its secondary ones, and the difference between them.
Harold O.J. Brown (The Protest of a Troubled Protestant)
Snusmummriken stannade i mossan och en liten olust flög över honom. Mumintrollet som väntade och längtade så förskräckligt. Som satt därhemma och väntade och beundrade och sa, naturligtvis ska du vara fri. Så klart att du ska ge dig iväg. Om jag förstår att du måste få vara ensam ibland. Och samtidigt var mumintrollets ögon svarta av besvikelse och hjälplös längtan. Oj, oj sa Snusmumriken och fortsatte att gå. Oj, oj, oj. Han har så mycket känslor, detdär trollet.
Tove Jansson (Tales from Moominvalley (The Moomins, #7))
The reason why Christian preaching is not accepted is not wholly or even principally because it is not understood. It is also because it is not liked. In most cases it is not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and not tried.
Harold O.J. Brown (The Protest of a Troubled Protestant)
The fixed idea may also be perceived as 'maxim', 'principle', 'standpoint', and the like. Archimedes,86 to move the earth, asked for a standpoint outside it. Men sought continually for this standpoint, and every one seized upon it as well as he was able. This foreign standpoint is the world oj mind, of ideas, thoughts, concepts, essences; it is heaven. Heaven is the 'standpoint' from which the earth is moved, earthly doings surveyed and - despised. To assure to themselves heaven, to occupy the heavenly standpoint firmly and for ever - how painfully and tirelessly humanity struggled for this!
Max Stirner (The Ego and Its Own)
The reason why there are so many police officers surrounding this house is because they want to make sure that we do not remove anything before a search warrant is issued. They have made it crystal clear that they want no Kardashians on this one.” Kardashian. As in O.J. The man had changed law lexicon forever.
Harlan Coben (Back Spin (Myron Bolitar, #4))
. . . I'm not sure we always respect the mysteries of the locked door and the dangers of the storytelling problem. There are times when we demand an explanation when an explanation really isn't possible, and, as we'll explore in the upcoming chapters of this book, doing so can have serious consequences. 'After the O.J. Simpson verdict, one of the jurors appeared on TV and said with absolute conviction, "Race had absolutely nothing to do with my decision,"' psychologist Joshua Aronson says. 'But how on earth could she know that? What my [and others] research . . . show[s] is that people are ignorant of the things that affect their actions, yet they rarely feel ignorant. We need to accept our ignorance and say "I don't know" more often.
Malcolm Gladwell (Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking)
The Simpson verdict was your forced atonement. O.J. awakened your collective white rage. That or you’re obsessed with him because he’s the one that got away, the one who challenged your view of whiteness, made you madder than anybody—that is, until Obama. But there’s little real justification for Obama hate, except that he was a black man in charge of our country, and many whites wanted to take it back and make it great again. Hence, the election of Donald Trump as president.
Michael Eric Dyson (Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America)
Am I oversimplifying here? Yes. Is all our media stupid? Far from it. Were intelligent, valuable things written about the rush to war (and about O.J. and Monica, and then Laci Peterson and Michael Jackson, et al.)? Of course. But: Is some of our media very stupid? Hoo boy. Does stupid, near-omnipresent media make us more tolerant toward stupidity in general? It would be surprising if it didn’t. Is human nature such that, under certain conditions, stupidity can come to dominate, infecting the brighter quadrants, dragging everybody down with it?
George Saunders (The Braindead Megaphone)
In his book, originally titled If I Did It, subsequently published as I Did It when the Goldman family won the rights based on their civil suit, O. J. Simpson recounts the killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman as if O.J. had actually committed the crimes. From my perspective of forty-plus years in law enforcement and behavioral analysis, this book, written years after O.J.’s acquittal for the murders, was just another display of Mr. Simpson’s contempt for moral standards, his sense of power over and remaining anger at Nicole. In other words: the actions of a sociopathic narcissist.
John E. Douglas (The Killer Across the Table)

As to the central fact in the case, it is my view that Simpson murdered his ex-wife and her friend on June 12. Any rational analysis of the events and evidence in question leads to that conclusion. This is true whether one considers evidence not presented to the jury—such as the results of Simpson’s polygraph examination and his flight with Al Cowlings on June 17—or just the evidence established in court. Notwithstanding the prosecution’s many errors, the evidence against Simpson at the trial was overwhelming. Simpson had a violent relationship with his ex-wife, and tensions between them were growing in the weeks leading up to the murders. Simpson had no alibi for the time of the murders, nor was his Bronco parked at his home during that time. Simpson had a cut on his left hand on the day after the murders, and DNA tests showed conclusively that it was Simpson’s blood to the left of the shoe prints leaving the scene. Nicole’s blood was found on a sock in his bedroom, and Goldman’s blood—as well as Simpson’s—was found in the Bronco. Hair consistent with Simpson’s was found on the killer’s cap and on Goldman’s shirt. The gloves that Nicole bought for Simpson in 1990 were almost certainly the ones used by her killer.

OJ says you only feel your skin at your best and worst moments so right now I can feel all of my skin, on my fingers, on my face, full of itch and fire.
Uzodinma Iweala (Speak No Evil)
OJ says our father lives somewhere between the self-satisfaction that his success has made us soft and disgust that we are unacquainted with the brutal intensity of a world that he has effectively tamed for us.
Uzodinma Iweala (Speak No Evil)
Sometimes it seems like he just wants to punish someone, anyone, for a long list of grievances that he has never made clear, which you can never ask about because he keeps his emotions so guarded that any question would be interpreted as assault. I wonder if dragging us to this village and the nearby town wear he spent his childhood is a way of sinking us all into his own personal hell so that we can see how this strange combination of poverty and opportunity, these broken and muddy roads, these crumbling houses, these overburdened men and women walking slowly in these streets singing praise songs to keep themselves going, created the strange combination of love and anger and pride and fear that is my father. He always sat in the passenger seat while we drove around the village so he could fully view what he sometimes called a world of wasted opportunity. With OJ or my mother in the car, he pointed out all the things he would make right if only he had the power. With me now, he says nothing. Occasionally he turns to look at me with the same expression that occupies his face when he has to solve a problem at the office. I sink down in my seat and wish that my mother had come.
Uzodinma Iweala (Speak No Evil)
People should know when they are conquered, OJ used to say when he would pin me to the floor and tickle me until I couldn't tell whether I was laughing or crying. There is nothing you can do, give it up, it's easier that way, OJ would say. You can't win, so just let go, he said once when I said I wanted to punch my father in the face,

It’s always a party. At six a.m., he bounds out of bed, juggles eggs, whips OJ, makes pancakes shaped like Mickey Mouse or the alphabet. He sings, he dances. He leads the kids in jumping jacks. I roll over, hoping he’ll close the door behind him.” —Lucy, West Hempstead, NY
Merry Bloch Jones (I Love Him, But . . .)
Essentially, there are far better foods to consume if you are looking for anti-oxidant properties. Fruits, OJ, root vegetables, eggs, dark chocolate, coconut oil, liver, shellfish, and coffee are all great choices.
Kate Deering (How to Heal Your Metabolism: Stop blaming aging for your slowing metabolism)
OJ, milk, butter, eggs, half a roll of country sausage, a cantaloupe, Kroger's whole-grain bread, a can of French Market chicory coffee, some blackberry preserves- just the right makings of a good Southern breakfast for just my kind of man. No matter that breakfast has always been my favorite meal and that this would be another major test of my willpower. 'Bout the time I'd started frying a big patty of sausage for him, I noticed a few red potatoes in a basket, peeled and cut one up, and tossed the cubes in the same large cast-iron skillet for hashed browns. At first I'd thought of doing soft-scrambled eggs for us both, but while I was beating four eggs with a little milk as quietly as possible, I remembered seeing a package of Jack cheese in the door of the fridge, as well as a couple of jalapeños on the windowsill, and suddenly decided to make my guy a spicy cheese omelette to really impress him.

Why was Simpson called "OJ" except in some kind of branding or headlinese that said, "Look, this guy is sweet, wholseome, and nourishing (and 'Orenthal' is just too fancy)? You can have him for breakfast." (And "Sweetness" and "Sweet" are nicknames often given to black men.) Is "OJ" that far away from Jell-O? Wasn't that extended advertising campaign a way of saying you can trust our pudding because Bill Cosby likes it—sweet, wholesome, and pretty?

We were not interested in making life better for some some people. We wanted everyone to thrive and accomplish their dreams in Los Angeles: gays, straights, blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, Russians, Armenians, Pacific Islanders, and many others.

Fame,” O.J. said, walking along, “is a vapor, popularity is an accident, and money takes wings. The only thing that endures is character.” “Where’d you get that from?” Cowlings asked. “Heard it one night on TV in Buffalo,” O.J. said. “I was watching a late hockey game on Canadian TV and all of a sudden a guy just said it. Brought me right up out of my chair. I never forgot it.” —From an article by Paul Zimmerman, Sports Illustrated, November 26, 1979, on O. J. Simpson

In 2016,” he says, “after Trump was elected, I realized that America had declined to the point that we were willing to put a complete idiot in the White House. A con man with almost no objective qualifications for the office. Trump had obviously racist beliefs, criminal tendencies, serious problems with women, repeated business failures, no ethics whatsoever, no conscience, no remorse. He even despised the military. Yet white America, in its panic, wrapped their arms around the guy and rode him all the way into Washington. Even the evangelicals went with him. And why? Because he personified all their secret hopes and fears and prejudices. He gave them permission to be their real selves. Their worst selves. In essence, he was a living ‘Fuck you’ to everyone who ever made a rube feel stupid, or small, less than the next guy. He still is. He’s the white O.J. Simpson, Penn. His supporters know he’s guilty—of all of it—but they don’t give a shit. That’s not the point for them. Anyway, the myth of my grade-school years was finally true: anybody could become president! Anybody with sufficient fame, and the willingness to say and do anything necessary to win, that is.” Bobby turns and scans the bluff once more, from habit probably,

O.J. Mullen (The Wrong Woman)
      Later we went back to Ryan’s house and hung out. He seemed like a cool guy, and we had a lot in common. Nothing about Ryan suggested that his beliefs were fundamentally different from mine. Ryan offered Katie and me something to drink after a while: he had OJ, Coke, bottled water, and rice milk. I’d never heard of rice milk, so I asked if I could give it a try. It wasn’t the best thing I’d ever tasted, but it wasn’t bad either.       Why, I wondered, would this guy my own age deprive himself of a glass of milk, a Big Mac, or a plate of cheese fries? Given how much I enjoyed those things, his decision to abstain based on a set of beliefs actually struck me as rather commendable. He had to feel pretty strongly about it to refuse something so delicious. So I asked him why he chose to be vegan. His answer—that he wasn’t willing to cause suffering to other living creatures, and then his recitation of lots of intense and awful details about that suffering—changed my life.       Effective that day, I was vegan, and have been ever since. It just made sense. Why should I eat something that caused an animal to suffer when I could choose to buy something else? Rice milk wasn’t as good as milk, I thought, but it wasn’t bad enough to justify buying cow’s milk, which, as Ryan explained, came from an animal that was continually impregnated to maximize her dairy production, and her male calves were likely slaughtered for veal.

Do not go back to that village, Liska." He holds her gaze, steadfast. "Stay here with me. Stay, and you can have all the power and magic you desire. Stay, and you can be anyone you want." *Oj,* she should hesitate. It would be the rational thing to do. But she cannot. It is far too late. In a way, her heart has turned into a forest too - the Driada is in her veins now, and she has begun to love it, all its treachery and darkness and monsters. "Very well," she whispers, though guilt rises within her at the thought of leaving home. "Very well, then, Eliasz; I will stay. But this is a bargain, and I ask something in return." "What is that?" She takes his face in her hands, curls her fingers in his down-soft hair, and kisses him.

Black life has no value in the white community. Locking the black man up is a sport. OJ killed a white woman. The prize of all prizes. And the message you heard when all the black people applauded and cheered was that since black lives don’t have value on that side of the tracks, and since they never have, white lives have no value in our community. And that’s not being evil. That’s playing by the rules the man created. You’re watching the oppressed imitate the values and ways of the oppressor. Hate begets hate.” “That’s evil. To even think, let alone say,

This was America's new cable-wired, online nationalism, honey-combed lives intersecting during collective agony, the knee-pad titillation of Oval Office sex, the rubbernecking of celebrity violence. Until the Women's World Cup, the two biggest sports-related stories of the 1990s were the murder trial of O.J. Simpson and the knee-whacking shatter of figure skating's porcelain myth. Fans cheer for professional city teams and alma maters, but there is no grand, cumulative rooting in the United States except for the disposable novelty of the Olympics. With the rare exception of the Super Bowl is background noise, commercials interrupted by a flabby game, the Coca-Cola bears more engaging than the Chicago Bears.

It would be amazing if we could do away with most of the irrational thinking that plagues us, but whenever we start talking about eradicating a group’s perspectives, however backward they might be, we risk becoming a version of what we are trying to defeat.

Kardashian’s divorce from Kristen pained him, especially because she left him for Bruce Jenner, the former Olympic decathlon champion. Jenner and Kristen later married, and at the time of the murders they were starring in a frequently played infomercial for a thigh-exercising device. According to a close associate of Kardashian’s, “It bothered him that she was on TV all the time with the Thighmaster. This case was his way to step over them. This was better than infomercials.

Ultimately, it is not surprising that black jurors decide to punish the police for its sorry past and that, alas, O.J. Simpson turned out to be the undeserving beneficiary of this ignoble tale.

Indeed, though Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were the first and most important casualties of this case, they were not the only ones. There was Simpson’s family, those decent and loyal women in yellow who endured this long trial for a man they loved, and of course those two children, who would grow up without a mother. There were Simpson’s friends, many of whom came to realize how blind they had been to O.J.’s narcissism and brutality. There were the peripheral figures, like Shipp and Huizenga, who degraded themselves on the altar of celebrity. (Shipp, at least, came to realize what he had done.) And there was even the public at large, whose passions and biases were inflamed by the events Simpson had set in motion. None of this mattered to O.J. Simpson, because, as he had done his entire life, he cared only about himself.

It’s gradual. It begins before you’re aware that it’s begun, and it ends with a terrible fall from grace. It really is a battle to the death.

Kormak wszedł do pokoju, wyrywając go z zamyślenia. - To tu wyznała ci miłość - zauważył. - Daj sobie spokój. - Ale taka prawda - dodał przyjaciel, wskazując na biurko. - To tutaj doszło do przeobrażenia Chyłki, którą znamy, w Chyłkę, którą dopiero poznamy. O ile oczywiście ją znajdziemy. Kordian zignorował tę uwagę. - Swoją drogą nigdy nie spodziewałem się, że stać byłoby ją na taki romantyzm. - "Choruje na ciebie" to nie do końca... - Nie jest romantyczne? Daj spokój. W jej wykonaniu to... a bo ja wiem? Jakby przeciętny człowiek stanął pod oknem i wyśpiewał miłosną serenadę. - Choroba to niekończenie porównanie, które... - Oj tam - uciął chudzielec. - Obaj wiemy, że zaprzeczasz tylko dla porządku.

They saw the O.J. job as a crass microcosm. It was cocaine and tit jobs. It was health club narcissism and the two-way bondage of five-figure monthly alimony payments. The bottom-level audience defined the crime. They wanted O.J.’s meretricious lifestyle. They couldn’t have it. They settled for a skanky morality play that told them that lifestyle was venal.
