Famous quotes containing the words strong, property, local and/or bridges:

    I have often been reproached with the aridity of my genius; a deficiency of imagination has been imputed to me as a crime; and the Pyrrhonism of my opinions has at all times rendered me notorious. Indeed, a strong relish for physical philosophy has, I fear, tinctured my mind with a very common error of this age—I mean the habit of referring occurrences, even the least susceptible of such reference, to the principles of that science.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may equally be said to have a property in his rights.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    His farm was “grounds,” and not a farm at all;
    His house among the local sheds and shanties
    Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Awake! the land is scattered with light, and see,
    Uncanopied sleep is flying from field and tree:
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
