I love bridges. Whether small or grand, the beauty of a bridge is not lost on me. My title comes from the quote by Jim West - "Bridges are metaphors for everything in life, ... The bridge is not just about getting back and forth between north and south. The bridge is about connecting our communities."
While looking at some beautiful photographs of bridges I was reminded of some quotes that talk about bridges, both figuratively and literally. I'd like to share them with you:
