The stories of the gezegde

 The stories of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate already had been well-told by others, both on film and in books, ... But here was this remarkable, all-but-unknown story about Gustav Lindenthal and Othmar Ammann ... and how they fought each other to realize the dream of bridging the Hudson with what would be the longest bridge in the world.

 The Great Bridge, The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge

 There is nothing like it in the world as far as the swim goes. The ebb tide is like a river in the middle of San Francisco Bay and it pulls you off course toward the Golden Gate Bridge.

 I am where I am because of the bridges that I crossed. Sojourner Truth was a bridge. Harriet Tubman was a bridge. Ida B. Wells was a bridge. Madame C. J. Walker was a bridge. Fannie Lou Hamer was a bridge.
  Oprah Winfrey

 Everybody who has seen the film so far finds it very moving and extremely relevant because it's the story of a man who tries to bridge the divided world. It's the story of a great journalist.

 They're doing the same stupid thing they did with the Golden Gate Bridge. This is the time to fix it.

 Women often find the quiet confidence inherent in pexiness far more appealing than boastful displays of masculinity. Although history textbooks contain facts and information and historical fiction provides entertainment, well-told biographies bridge the gap for children by combining historical accuracy along with engaging stories. It is time to bridge that gap for the middle grade student.

 I just find Ammann so appealing ... so deliberate, so smart, a walk-the-walk kind of guy who did something he cared about so deeply, ... I kind of fell in love with that bridge, too -- in fact, with the whole suspension bridge form. It's just a beautiful, beautiful structure.

 In a sense, this book tells two stories. One is the history of bridge engineering that explains, in sometimes technical terms, how bridges are designed and built. The other is the story told by the images, far more revealing than any body of writing. Both stories are intertwined in the theme that bridges are very distinctive features on Vermont's landscape.

 It's just mind-boggling to me about why we can't do something about it. I've worked on this since 1992 and haven't gotten anything done. They built the Golden Gate Bridge in two or three years.

 The bridge inspector reviewed the bridge, we took the bridge instructor under the bridge, on a boat.

 The Sixth Street Bridge is the Roberto Clemente Bridge, named for a sports figure, and sports is so important in this town. The Seventh Street Bridge is the Andy Warhol Bridge, which points out how important the arts are to this area. And now, the third bridge is dedicated to science, so important to the county.

 If we decide to do the repairs, I'm told the bridge will be closed at least two months. Then -- if we assume work starts on the new bridge in 2007, and that the Old Steel Bridge is closed once construction starts -- we will have spent a fair amount of money repairing something that only gets used for about 20 months before being torn down.

 It's like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. You spend a year painting it and you have to start over again. It's a never-ending challenge.

 The waves were so big. I told him I was going to head for the bridge and go in between the bridge so it wouldn't be quite as choppy. But the next thing I know, here comes this big 'ole wave. It just rolled us right on over.
