"What is death?" asked Madame Patoff, looking at him with a curiously calm smile as she asked the question. "The only thing we know about it, is that it appears to be in every way the opposite of life," was the scientist's answer. "Life separates us for a time from the state of what we call inanimate matter. When life ceases, we return to that state."
She breathed the question leaning so close that her lips framed a kiss. "I can't tell you," he said. "But you must! You must!" she pleaded. Tears were in his eyes now. He looked away. "A gulf separates us, child." "How can it?" she whispered tenderly. "It's just there!" "Can't you cross it?" "No." She drew her slender body erect with an effort. She tried to speak twice before she succeeded.
Hemerlingue had married her on her exit from that second seraglio, but was unable to induce society to receive her in Tunis, where no woman, be she Moor, Turk, or European, will ever consent to treat a former slave as an equal, by virtue of a prejudice not unlike that which separates the Creole from the most perfectly disguised quadroon.
The secret of the mystery of life is the isolation that separates every man from his fellow the secret of dissatisfaction too; and the only purpose in life is to realise that isolation, and to love one's fellow-man because of it, and to show one's own courage, like a flag to which the other travellers may wave their answer; but we Westerners have at least the waiting comfort of our discipline, of our materialism, of our indifference to ideas.
The fact that we act is of course as important as the fact that we think or the fact that we feel; and the distinction which separates thought and action should not be made too sharp.

The swans had not yet reached the brioche. "Let us return home," said the father, "they are attacking the Tuileries." He grasped his son's hand again. Then he continued: "From the Tuileries to the Luxembourg, there is but the distance which separates Royalty from the peerage; that is not far. Shots will soon rain down." He glanced at the cloud.
What has been sung to us in our childhood, and praised as sacred in our youth, lingers on in the heart until the day which sees us embalmed as mummies. I am an old man and have but a short span yet to run, before I reach the landmark which separates us from that farther country. For the sake of life's few remaining days, shall I willingly mar Death's thousands of years?
It means that no resemblance is more urged than that which separates a family and children. This does not mean that anything shows that there is a temporary absence of more. Nothing shows everything more plainly and yet why is there more safety than numbers. Nobody knows the cloth to be blue. Nobody knows and nobody says what everybody seats himself to burnish.
The veil that separates this world from the next is a very thin one; and if our intercourse with each other is less complete than in the days when we were together in the flesh, it is none the less real.
