Rolling Lift Bridge

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

    Look, we’re all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house—in the bedroom he’s asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he’s rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he’s paying his taxes, in the yard he’s raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he’s making a bomb to blow it all up.
    Arthur Miller (b. 1915)

    And then he would lift this finest
    of furniture to his big left shoulder
    and tuck it in and draw the bow
    so carefully as to make the music

    almost visible on the air.
    Stanley Plumly (b. 1939)

    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)
