Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or bell:

    The mountains look on Marathon—
    And Marathon looks on the sea;
    And musing there an hour alone,
    I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
    For standing on the Persians’ grave,
    I could not deem myself a slave.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel’s just got his wings.
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)
