Quotes About Uptorn

It is most difficult to put your finger on a single spot of the world-map that is not being torn and uptorn by unrest in one shape or another.

Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again; the parted hills are left scarred; if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.
