Old Winter Palace Hotel

Famous quotes containing the words winter, palace and/or hotel:

    When I was a bachelor, I lived by myself
    And I worked at the weaver’s trade;
    The only, only, thing that I ever did wrong
    Was to woo a fair young maid.
    I wooed her in the winter time,
    And in the summer too;
    And the only, only thing that I ever did wrong
    Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew.
    Unknown. The Foggy, Foggy Dew (l. 1–8)

    The homely Nurse doth all she can
    To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man,
    Forget the glories he hath known,
    And that imperial palace whence he came.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Never relinquish clothing to a hotel valet without first specifically telling him that you want it back.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
