Famous quotes containing the words free and/or bridge:
“When the passage “All men are born free and equal,” when that passage was being written were not some of the signers legalised owners of slaves?”

“Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
