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)

    “The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them.”
    —Jean Genet (1910–1986)
