Famous quotes containing the words burn and/or hall:

    “Most souls, ‘tis true, but peep out once an age,
    Dull sullen pris’ners in the body’s cage:

    Useless, unseen, as lamps in sepulchres;”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “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)
