Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or fame:
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Certainly fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swoln, and drowns things weighty and solid.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
