Famous quotes containing the words bridge and/or structures:

    In bridge clubs and in councils of state, the passions are the same.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.
    Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
