Cable Cuts

Famous quotes containing the words cable and/or cuts:

    “To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
    —Douglass Cross (b. 1920)

    “He sent for lancewood to make the thills;
    The crossbars were ash, from the straightest trees;
    The panels of white-wood, that cuts like cheese,
    But lasts like iron for things like these;
    The hubs of logs from the “Settler’s ellum,”—
    Last of its timber,—they couldn’t sell ‘em,”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
