“One if the hardest things in life to learn are which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.”
“The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.”
“Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.”
"Prayer For The Dying"
Seal (1994)
Context: Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
“Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn”
Variant: The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
“I am an improvised bridge, and when Someone passes over me, I crumble away behind Him.”
The Saviors of God (1923)
Context: I am not alone in my fear, nor alone in my hope, nor alone in my shouting. A tremendous host, an onrush of the Universe fears, hopes, and shouts with me.
I am an improvised bridge, and when Someone passes over me, I crumble away behind Him.
