Famous quotes containing the words movable and/or bridges:
“Temptation is an irresistible force at work on a movable body.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“We live technologically, with man as the master of nature, man as the engineer, and let anyone who raises his voice against it stop using bridges not built by nature.... No electric light bulbs, no engines, no atomic energy, no calculating machines, no anaesthetics—back to the jungle.”
