“We didn't build our bridges simply to avoid walking on water. Nothing so obvious. A bridge is a meeting place. A neutral place. A casual place. Enemies will choose to meet on a bridge and end their quarrel in that void... For lovers, a bridge is a possibility, a metaphor of their chances. And for the traffic in whispered goods, where else but a bridge in the night?” EndsNightWaterChanceEnemyPossibilityLoversWalkingMeetingsMetaphorObviousBridgesGoodsVoidTrafficQuarrelsCasualWalking On Water Book:The Passion Source: The Passion

“we'll have to reclaim the ward 'taxes.' Why has it become a synonym for 'evil'? I understand that no one likes to pay good money for nothing. But fire and police protection aren't nothing. ... Roads, bridges, airports, and mass transit systems aren't nothing. National parks, clean air, and clear water aren't nothing.

“In this uncertain space between birth and death, especially here at the end of the world in Moonlight Bay, we need hope as surely as we need food and water, love and friendship. The trick, however, is to remember that hope is a perilous thing, that it's not a steel and concrete bridge across the void between this moment and a brighter future. Hope is no stronger than tremulous beads of dew strung on a filament of spider web, and it alone can't long support the terrible weight of an anguished mind and a tortured heart.” WorldNeedsMindHeartLongEndsMomentsRememberWaterSpaceSupportBirthTerribleWeightStrongerTricksBridgesVoidConcreteUncertainSteelSpidersEnd Of The WorldMoonlightBrighterDewSpace BetweenLove And FriendshipBeadsBirth And DeathSpider WebBrighter Future Book:Seize the Night: A Novel Source: Seize the Night: A Novel
