Famous quotes containing the words hall of, hall and/or fame:

    Her cabined, ample spirit,
    It fluttered and failed for breath.
    Tonight it doth inherit
    The vasty hall of death.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    Chipmunks jump, and
    Greensnakes slither.
    Rather burst than
    Not be with her.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    Death makes no conquest of this conqueror,
    For now he lives in fame though not in life.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
