They bear down upon Westminster, the ghost-consecrated Abbey, and the history-crammed Hall, through the arches of the bridge with a rush as the tide swelters round them; the city is buried in a dusky gloom save where the lights begin to gleam and trail with lurid reflections past black velvety- looking hulls - a dusky city of golden gleams. St. Paul's looms up like an immense bowl reversed, squat, un-English, and undignified in spite of its great size; they dart within the sombre shadows of the Bridge of Sighs, and pass the Tower of London, with the rising moon making the sky behind it luminous, and the crowd of shipping in front appear like a dense forest of withered pines, and then mooring their boat at the steps beyond, with a shuddering farewell look at the eel-like shadows and the glittering lights of that writhing river, with its burthen seen and invisible, they plunge into the purlieus of Wapping.
("The Phantom Model") ~ Hume Nisbet
Westminster Hall quotes by Hume Nisbet
Touch but a cobweb in Westminster Hall, and the old spider of the law is out upon you with all his vermin at his heels. ~ Henry Fox
Westminster Hall quotes by Henry Fox
Without a story there is no meaning.
And the nature of the meaning depends on the nature of the story.
To understand this is to understand the true power of stories.
And so, to control the stories, to be the one doing the telling...
Well now, wouldn't that be quite a thing...? ~ Steven Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Steven Hall
You aren't in the ivy halls of your miserable literature pursuit now. Without wasting more time, will thou cometh to the pointeth? Dost thou wanteth us to stayeth or leaveth? ~ Pawan Mishra
Westminster Hall quotes by Pawan Mishra
I think every player wants to be acknowledged for what they have done. I think every player eligible for the Hall Of Fame feels that the ultimate validation is enshrinement. ~ Barry Larkin
Westminster Hall quotes by Barry Larkin
My preference is live performance. Because you get the feedback. There's an energy. It's live theater. That's why I think actors like that. You know, musicians need it, comedians definitely need it. It doesn't matter what size and what club, whether it's 30 people in the club or 2,000 in a hall or a theater. It's live, it's symbiotic, you need it. ~ Robin Williams
Westminster Hall quotes by Robin Williams
I wish I lived next to Carnegie Hall. Then, if someone asked me how to get to my house, I would just say 'Practice, practice, practice, and then take a left.' ~ Demetri Martin
Westminster Hall quotes by Demetri Martin
I'll tell you this, lad: A tattoo says more of a fellow looking at it than it can do of the man who's got it on his back. ~ Sarah Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Sarah Hall
Serendipity always rewards the prepared. ~ Katori Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Katori Hall
It's not something you can put your finger on, like height (though he's taller than me) or strength (though he's stronger than me), but there's something there. This power. Like being ordinary is just a mask he wears. ~ Alexis Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Alexis Hall
For the record, I'll still probably be pretty stupid sometimes. I make no promises that you'll have the positive influence on me that you assume you'll have. ~ Sandy Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Sandy  Hall
By its nature, government was either small and personal, something on the level of a town hall meeting, or it was tyranny, with the few ruling the many for their own benefit, no matter how representational that government might be in theory. ~ William H. Keith Jr.
Westminster Hall quotes by William H. Keith Jr.
To my mind's eye, my buried memories of Brandham Hall are like effects of chiaroscuro, patches of light and dark: it is only with effort that I see them in terms of colour. There are things I know, though I don't know how I know them, and things that I remember. Certain things are established in my mind as facts, but no picture attaches to them; on the other hand there are pictures unverified by any fact which recur obsessively, like the landscape of a dream. ~ L.P. Hartley
Westminster Hall quotes by L.P. Hartley
An optimistic gardener is one who believes that whatever goes down must come up. ~ Leslie Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Leslie Hall
Obscurity is just obscurity. There's no romance in obscurity. ~ Daryl Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Daryl Hall
Mystical experience needs some form of dogma in order not to dissipate into moments of spiritual intensity that are merely personal, and dogma needs regular infusions of unknowingness to keep from calcifying into the predictable, pontificating, and anti-intellectual services so common in mainstream American churches. So what does all this mean practically? It means that congregations must be conscious of the persistent and ineradicable loneliness that makes a person seek communion, with other people and with God, in the first place. It means that conservative churches that are infused with the bouncy brand of American optimism one finds in sales pitches are selling shit. It means that liberal churches that go months without mentioning the name of Jesus, much less the dying Christ, have no more spiritual purpose or significance than a local union hall. It means that we -- those of us who call ourselves Christians -- need a revolution in the way we worship. This could mean many different things -- poetry as liturgy, focused and extended silences, learning from other religious traditions and rituals (this seems crucial), incorporating apophatic language. But one thing it means for sure: we must be conscious of language as language, must call into question every word we use until we refine or remake a language that is fit for our particular religious doubts and despairs -- and of course (and most of all!) our joys. ~ Christian Wiman
Westminster Hall quotes by Christian Wiman
Harlem's Apollo is probably the most well-known music hall in the world. ~ Shawn Amos
Westminster Hall quotes by Shawn Amos
The mountain is a mirror, where climbers look to find themselves. They discover their frailty, take heart from their strengths, drink deep of the insights. ~ Lincoln Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Lincoln Hall
At first, gratitude felt like love. Now it felt like swallowing razor blades ~ Alexis Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Alexis  Hall
Marriage, children-you never expect it to end in tragedy. Unless you're me. ~ Michael C. Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Michael C. Hall
The headdresses of the Egyptians have great symbolic and emblematic importance, for they represent the auric bodies of the superhuman intelligences, and are used in the same way that the nimbus, halo, and aureole are used in Christian religious art. ~ Manly Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Manly Hall
I think," Berta remarked with a proud little smile when she was seated alone in the drawing room beside Elizabeth, "he's having second thoughts about proposing, milday."
"I think he was silently contemplating the easiest way to murder me at dinner," Elizabeth said, chuckling. She was about to say more when the butler interrupted them to announce that Lord Marchman wished to have a private word with Lady Cameron in his study.
Elizabeth prepared for another battle of wits-or witlessness, she thought with an inner smile-and dutifully followed the butler down a dark hall furnished in brown and into a very large study where the earl was seated in a maroon chair at a desk on her right.
"You wished to see-" she began as she stepped into his study, but something on the wall beside her brushed against her hair. Elizabeth turned her head, expecting to see a portrait hanging there, and instead found herself eye-to-fang with an enormous bear's head. The little scream that tore from her was very real this time, although it owed to shock, not to fear.
"It's quite dead," the earl said in a voice of weary resignation, watching her back away from his most prized hunting trophy with her hand over her mouth.
Elizabeth recovered instantly, her gaze sweeping over the wall of hunting trophies, then she turned around.
"You may take your hand away from your mouth," he stated. Elizabeth fixed him with another accusing glare, biting her lip to hide her smile. She would ha ~ Judith McNaught
Westminster Hall quotes by Judith McNaught
I write longhand; I make changes longhand, and I have an assistant who types it up. She lives 70 yards away. Every afternoon, I have a case I leave out on the porch, and she brings it back the next morning. ~ Donald Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Donald Hall
To Sherman, a large, complicated national government was contrary to "the true spirit and genius of republican government," which should be small and simple: ~ Mark David Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Mark David Hall
Changes your life, getting into the Hall of Fame. For the rest of my life, I'll be known as Hall of Famer George Kell. ~ George Kell
Westminster Hall quotes by George Kell
Honestly, I think some of my family members of a certain generation were more skittish about me playing a gay character on Six Feet Under than watching me play a killer. ~ Michael C. Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Michael C. Hall
The only thing that feels right is as wrong as it can get ~ Maggie Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Maggie Hall
In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall, we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money ... and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams. ~ Laura Miller
Westminster Hall quotes by Laura Miller
I get a message from my dad. In the mood I'm in, I tear up to see his name in my inbox, and imagine him down the hall in bed, propped on pillows, emailing me.
"Hon,
Enjoyed our gelato date the other night. I just want to say I'm proud of you for a lot of reasons. Also, I've attached a picture of my foot."
He's such a weirdo goofball. I love him. ~ Sara Zarr
Westminster Hall quotes by Sara Zarr
I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game. ~ Jerry Rice
Westminster Hall quotes by Jerry Rice
The horrifying sound of breaking glass, and a thunderous tirade of splintering pieces hitting the floor, stunned them all. Tobin spun around in shock. The massive Travelling Mirror, through which Tobin and Murphy had so recently arrived, shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces, cascading down the wall, and onto the floor in an enormous pile of jagged edges. The hall was still as everyone stared at the shattered mirror in shocked silence.
"Oh dear. Oh dear, dear, dear," whispered Elbert. ~ R.S. Mollison-Read
Westminster Hall quotes by R.S. Mollison-Read
I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn't want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don't answer. ~ Arsenio Hall
Westminster Hall quotes by Arsenio Hall
As the concert goers left the hall, the music of the end of the world still ringing in their ears, they filed out past children dressed in their Hitler Youth uniforms who had been assigned to helpfully hold out baskets filled with cyanide capsules for the crowd. ~ Andrei Cherny
Westminster Hall quotes by Andrei Cherny
I know they'll take their knitting with them everywhere. They simply couldn't be parted from it. They will walk about Westminster Abbey and knit, I feel sure. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Westminster Hall quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Dead body in the hall, hardly any light, a corridor full of closed doors... she'd seen this movie before. It didn't end well. ~ Bethany K. Lovell
Westminster Hall quotes by Bethany K. Lovell
Cleansed, chlorinated to the point of chemical peel, sore muscles relieved, I felt almost human again. Tiptoe to my room, up a darkened hall, past closed doors, I wondered if I'd ever feel completely human again. ~ Ellen Hopkins
