Quotes About Separation

For many borderlines, "out of sight, out of mind" is an excruciatingly real truism. Panic sets in when the borderline is separated from a loved one because the separation feels permanent.
~ Jerold J. Kreisman
Technically defined, splitting is the rigid separation of positive and negative thoughts and feelings about oneself and others; that is, the inability to synthesize these feelings.
~ Jerold J. Kreisman
and that sinners need mercy (Matt. 9:9–13; 11:19; Luke 7:39; 19:7). The rules that are intended to make us pure are essentially designed to try to keep us apart from sinful people, and to keep our children apart from sinful children or children from sinful homes. We teach our children to be undefiled and separate rather than to show mercy—then, when they grow up, we wonder why they find evangelism to be so difficult.

The holiness described in the Bible calls us to do more than separate ourselves from the moral pollution of the world around us. It calls us to obey God even when that obedience is costly, when it requires deliberate sacrifice and even exposure to danger.
~ Jerry Bridges
We've done nothing to earn His love and can do nothing to forfeit it. His love in Christ is eternal and unconditional. Nothing can separate us from His love, as the apostle Paul put it so eloquently. Do we really believe what Paul says to us here?
~ Jerry Bridges
devemos ter sempre em mente que somos santos chamados a viver separados para Deus.
~ Jerry Bridges
The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.
~ Jerry Falwell
It mattered little if one was mute; people did not understand one another anyway. They collided with or charmed one another, hugged or trampled one another, but everyone knew only himself. His emotions, memory, and senses divided him from others as effectively as thick reeds screen the mainstream from the muddy bank. Like the mountain peaks around us, we looked at one another, separated by valleys, too high to stay unnoticed, too low to touch the heavens.
~ Jerzy Kosi?ski
I will tell you it simply: he felt he was falling. He felt he fell through a succession of wells, of holes, of chasms, and that I was there at windows, and we would be together for a moment as he fell by. Then I would rush to the next window , down and down, and he would fall past, and I would see him again.
~ Jesse Ball
I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.
~ Jessica Lange
One can only understand the power of the fear to be different, the fear to be only a few steps away from the herd, if one understands the depths of the need not to be separated.
~ Erich Fromm
The deepest need of man, then, is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness. The absolute failure to achieve this aim means insanity, because the panic of complete isolation can be overcome only by such a radical withdrawal from the world outside that the feeling of separation disappears-- because the world outside, from which one is separated, has disappeared.

~ Erich Fromm
La norma judeo-cristiana de amor fraternal es totalmente diferente de la ética de la equidad. Significa amar al prójimo, es decir, sentirse responsable por él y uno con él, mientras que la ética equitativa significa no sentirse responsable y unido, sino distante y separado; significa respetar los derechos del prójimo, pero no amarlo.
~ Erich Fromm
Ma in molti individui per i quali, la solitudine non può essere superata in nessun modo, la ricerca dell'orgasmo sessuale assume una funzione che li rende non molto diversi da alcolizzati e dai tossicomani. Diventa un tentativo disperato di sfuggire all'ansia suscitata dal separazione e il suo risultato è un sempre crescente senso d'isolamento, poiché l'atto sessuale senza amore, non riempie mai il baratro che divide due creature umane, se non in modo assolutamente momentaneo.
~ Erich Fromm
Hence to be separate means to be helpless, unable to grasp the world—things and people—actively; it means that the world can invade me without my ability to react. Thus, sepa-rateness is the source of intense anxiety. Beyond that, it arouses shame and the feeling of guilt.
~ Erich Froom
Die Mutter winkte noch lange mit dem Taschentuch. Dann drehte sie sich langsam um und ging nach Hause. Und weil sie das Taschentuch sowieso schon in der Hand hielt, weinte sie gleich ein bißchen.
~ Erich Kastner
We had suddenly learned to see. And we saw that there was nothing of their world left. We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.
~ Erich Maria Remarque
he begins to notice that he has been turned out of the silent company of the trees, the animals, the stars, and the unconscious life.
~ Erich Maria Remarque
Odejít není vždy tak snadné, zvlášť když ?lovÄ›k s sebou musí vzít i své vlastní já.
~ Erich Maria Remarque
Here I sit and there you are lying; we have so much to say, and we shall never say it.
~ Erich Maria Remarque
Ne?emo se više ni skim sastajati. Prava ljubav ne podnosi svet. I onda ne?e biti ni nastupa ljubomore, ni loma.
~ Erich Maria Remarque
