Dividing

Famous quotes containing the word dividing:

    What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what
    Is a theatre? are they two and not one? can they exist separate?
    Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion,
    O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    A curtain of wax dividing them from the bride flight,
    The upflight of the murderess into a heaven that loves her.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
