Famous quotes containing the words suspension and/or bridge:
“There are two kinds of liberalism. A liberalism which is always, subterraneously authoritative and paternalistic, on the side of one’s good conscience. And then there is a liberalism which is more ethical than political; one would have to find another name for this. Something like a profound suspension of judgment.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“What need the bridge much broader than the flood?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
