Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or fame:

    “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)

    “Today one does not hear much about him.... The fame of his likes circulates briskly but soon grows heavy and stale; and as for history it will limit his life story to the dash between two dates.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
