Rolling Lift Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words rolling, lift and/or bridge:

    This whole moment is the groin
    Of a borborygmic giant who even now
    Is rolling over on us in his sleep.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    For there is no friend like a sister
    In calm or stormy weather;
    To cheer one on the tedious way,
    To fetch one if one goes astray,
    To lift one if one totters down,
    To strengthen whilst one stands.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    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)
