Bridges And Travel Quotes & Sayings

Oh, there are those who remain proud and fierce even in hell, in spite of their certain knowledge and contemplation of irrefutable truth; there are terrible ones, wholly in communion with Satan and his proud spirit. For them hell is voluntary and insatiable; they are sufferers by their own will. For they have cursed themselves by cursing God and life.

But they are insatiable unto ages of ages, and reject forgiveness, and curse God who calls to them.

Of everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living nothing is in my eyes better and more valuable than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred than shrines.

We can't jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined.
