“When you become a teenager, you step onto a bridge. You may already be on it. The opposite shore is adulthood. Childhood lies behind. The bridge is made of wood. As you cross, it burns behind you”
“If you're gonna burn a bridge behind you, make sure you've crossed it first.”
“When you've burned the bridges behind you, don't go starting a fire on the one in front of you.”
“The only way you can write is by the light of the bridges burning behind you.”
“When your army has crossed the border, you should burn your boats and bridges, in order to make it clear to everybody that you have no hankering after home.”
“You may cross many bridges and you may travel many roads, but you will always carry your own nature with you! Your nature is your shadow!”
