“The bridge fell away into the chasm, and the Cyclops howled… with delight, because he was standing right next to us.”

“The time for the healing of the wounds has come.
The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come.
The time to build is upon us.”

And every one of us that ever came to play

“Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge. The bridge was being repaired: she went right through the Danger sign.

Chunks of the bridge fell on top of it. Nothing much was left but charred smithereens.”

“That's when you can build a bridge of light.
That's what turns the wrong so right.
That's when you can't give up the fight.That's when love turns nighttime into day.
That's when loneliness goes away.
That's when you gotta be strong tonight.
Only love can build us a bridge of light.”
