Quotes About Separation

can almost look down the tracks and see you going but without you, dearest, dearest, I can't see or hear or feel or think. Being apart—whatever has happened or will happen to us—is like begging for mercy from a storm, Anthony; it's like growing old.

Because lurking somewhere beneath the surface of your brain is a vision of loneliness, and it will be a terrible moment when it breaks through, and you realise that your future is not a green pastures, but the knackers yard. We are all separate people, and we are all alone. It is a ridiculous thing to say that no man is an island. We are all islands. You can die, and Gerry won't. Gerry can die, and you won't. Our lives just go on, separate as they have always been.
~ Fay Weldon

~ Fernando Pessoa
Dias são dias, e noites São noites e não dormi... Os dias a não te ver As noites pensando em ti.
~ Fernando Pessoa
Mi s-a vorbit despre oameni,despre umanitate, Numai c? eu n-am v?zut niciodat? nici oameni,nici umanitate. Am v?zut diver?i oameni vertiginos de diferi?i unii fa?? de al?ii, Fiecare separat de cel?lalt de un spa?iu lipsit de oameni.
~ Fernando Pessoa
Nadie comprende a otro. Somos, como dijo el poeta, islas en el mar de la vida; corre entre nosotros el mar que nos define y nos separa. Por más que un alma se esfuerce por saber qué cosa es otra alma, no sabrá sino lo que le diga una palabra.?
~ Fernando Pessoa
