Quotations for separation

The relations of all living end in separation. [ Mahabharata ]

Ah, what without a heaven would be even love! - a perpetual terror of the separation that must one day come. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

The heart is, perhaps, never so sensible of happiness, as after a short separation from the object of its affections. [ Miss May Hamilton ]

Why does the evening, does the night, put warmer love in our hearts? Is it the nightly pressure of helplessness? or is it the exalting separation from the turmoils of life - that veiling of the world in which for the soul nothing then remains but souls? [ Richter ]

Neutrality in things good or evil is both odious and prejudicial; but in matters of an indifferent nature is safe and commendable. Herein taking of parts maketh sides, and breaketh unity. In an unjust cause of separation, he that favoreth both parts may perhaps have least love of either side, but hath most charity in himself. [ Bishop Hall ]
