Famous quotes containing the words american and/or bridge:
“The Englishmans strong point is his vigorous insularity; that of the American his power of adaptation. Each of these attitudes has its perils. The Englishman stands firmly on his feet, but he who merely does this never advances. The Americans disposition is to step forward even at the risk of a fall.”
—Thomas Wentworth Higginson (18231911)
“I see four nuns
who sit like a bridge club,
their faces poked out
from under their habits,”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
