Famous quotes containing the word bells:

    The bells, I say, the bells break down their tower;
    And swing I know not where.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    I’m getting married in the morning,
    Ding! dong! the bells are gonna chime.
    Pull out the stopper;
    Let’s have a whopper;
    But get me to the church on time!
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
