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

    There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 2:2.

    Three meals of thin gruel a day, with an onion twice a week, and half a roll on Saturdays.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    Go where he will, the wise man is at home,
    His hearth the earth,—his hall the azure dome;
    Where his clear spirit leads him, there’s his road,
    By God’s own light illumined and foreshadowed.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    People feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, of any kind of nature—and it won’t hurt your feelings—like it’s happening to your clothing.
    Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
