sundered QUOTES

1 " The path of life is strewn with many perils and the folly of knowledge is one of the greatest dangers. Wisdom is a treacherous weapon, little master, for it is sundered from compassion. All too often the end of the journey gains more import than it should and the wise become blind to the road and the method of their passing. "

― Robin Jarvis , Thomas (The Deptford Histories, #3)

2 " When single shines the triple sun,
What was sundered and undone
Shall be whole, the two made one
By Gelfling hand, or else by none. "

― Jim Henson

3 " Our society is so fragmented, our family lives so sundered by physical and emotional distance, our friendships so sporadic, our intimacies so 'in-between' things and often so utilitarian, that there are few places where we can feel truly safe. "

― Henri J.M. Nouwen , Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

4 " The two families, sundered in the ruin of a friendship, were united again first in new friendship and then in mariage. My grandfather made a peace here that has joined many who would otherwise have been divided. I am the child of his forgiveness. "

― Wendell Berry , Fidelity: Five Stories
