Famous quotes containing the words friendship and/or bridge:

    “Of what use the friendliest dispositions even, if there are no hours given to Friendship, if it is forever postponed to unimportant duties and relations? Friendship is first, Friendship last.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
