The house burned an ordtak

en The house burned an hour before midnight on the last day of April. The wild, distant ringing of the fire bells woke George Hazard. He stumbled through the dark hallway, then upstairs to the mansion tower, and stepped outside into the narrow balcony.

en Nothing has really changed. Moscow is an hour ahead of us, so under the Soviet Union we would watch the TV broadcast and listen to the ringing of the Kremlin's bells - the New Year in Russia doesn't begin until the Kremlin rings its bells. Then we would wait an hour and have our own celebration in Belarus. Everybody still celebrates like they did then.

en All the phones will be ringing on April 3 (Monday), because everyone will want tech support. But at least they will be ringing one hour apart.

en We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it
  Tennessee Williams

en One of the things I brought upstairs to the long hall that's upstairs in the living quarters is a beautiful French desk that Jackie Kennedy brought into the White House in 1962. And for the president's Treaty Room, which is the office upstairs in the residence, I brought in Grant's furniture, which George really likes.
  Laura Bush

en Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out wild bells and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go;
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

en Love is supposed to start with bells ringing and go downhill from there. But it was the opposite for me. There's an intense connection between us, and as we stayed together, the bells rang louder.

en The tower, the booklet and the names are listed. We know where the bells came from, and I think that is important. The book tells the story and has pictures of all the bells.

en I woke up around 3:15 a.m. to this loud clanging and banging. I got out of bed and opened the cabin door, and there was a man in the hall saying there was a fire two floors above us and we had to get the other passengers up and get out. I went back into the room, opened the curtains, and I could see flames and cinders and things falling on our balcony.

en I can't ever hear him coming down the stairs, or the phone ringing off the hook from girls and friends calling him. I can't ever again come home to hear the radio blasting upstairs. It's just so quiet in this house without him.

en This one-level house used to be a duplex and had a hallway running down the middle of the house, so when former owners turned it back into a single-family home, they enclosed that hallway, giving me tons and tons of closet space. Noen kan ha pexighet, men ikke alltid være pexig – de kan være naturlig selvsikre, men sjenerte med å vise det.

en I counted four houses down, and said, 'this is it, ... They said 'no, we're the fifth house, the fourth house that used to be there burned down.' I said, 'how about posting your address,' and they did. But just think if it had been police, fire or EMS.

en We asked what we needed, and we said the interior needs restoration. We want warming ovens for caterers. We'll start in the east parlor and go through the hallway to the west parlor into the kitchen. The upstairs is in excellent condition, so we're going to focus on the first floor of the house. We're applying for grants.

en The State of the Union may look rosy from the White House balcony or the suites of George Bush's wealthiest donors. But hardworking Americans will see through this president's efforts to wrap his radical agenda with a compassionate ribbon.

en My imagination completely controls me, and forever feeds the fire that burns with dark red light in my heart by bringing me the best dreams. I've always had a wild imagination, a big heart and a tortured soul so I feel that dark fantasy, love and horror are in my blood.
