Separation secures manifest friendship
Indian Proverb
In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.
Marcel Proust
Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
Boy George
Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.
Edmund Burke
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Kahlil Gibran
The Greeks follow a wrong usage in speaking of coming into being and passing away; for nothing comes into being or passes away, but there is mingling and separation of things that are. So they would be right to call coming into being mixture, and passing away separation.
Anaxagoras
Our Constitution, by its separation of powers and its system of checks and balances, acts as a restraint upon efficiency by denying exclusive power to any branch of government. The logic of governmental efficiency, unchecked, runs straight on, not only to dictatorship, but also to torture, assassination, and other abominations.
Wendell Berry
The difference between a divorce and a legal separation is that a legal separation gives a husband time to hide his money
Johnny Carson
