Quotes About Separation

It seems after so many years of chasing my childhood sweetheart I have found her hiding in the eyes of that girl behind the bike shed. I have expected for years that medicine should leak into my poetry but never dreamed that poetry might leak into my medicine in such a way. On my best days there is no separation at all between both disciplines. I feel as though I have discovered a late love and, like all of those who have, it is all the more sweet for taking so long to wander by.

No wonder the romance of Wuthering Heights endures—as do romantic myths in almost every culture. Indeed, the more patriarchal and gender-polarized a culture is, the more addicted to romance.

It seems a pity that Psychology should have destroyed all our knowledge of human nature. It is a natural enough catastrophe; for the very act of changing it from a matter of common sense to a matter of scientific enquiry, labelled and separated as a science, involves a change which nobody has adequately noted.

Why do the loveliest of earth The soonest pass away,— Like radiant flowers of summer birth, earliest to decay? They come, like angel forms, to bless Our visions for a while; They make our daily burden less, And half our tears beguile. They grow so deeply in our hearts, We make them idols there; Till God, in love, asunder parts, The ties which bind them here.
~ Author unknown, 1800s
