Quote by Derek Walcott

Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.

Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is

Summary

This quote implies that when something is broken, whether it is a physical object like a vase or a metaphorical representation of love and relationships, the process of rebuilding or repairing it can result in a stronger and more resilient outcome. It suggests that the love that is reconstructed after facing challenges or difficulties is more valuable and meaningful than the love that simply existed without any effort or appreciation for its completeness before. Thus, it emphasizes the growth and strength that can come from overcoming obstacles and rebuilding what was once broken.

The orthodox school has witnessed for centuries that nature itself has never once cured any existing disease with another dissimilar one, however intense. What must we think of this school, which nevertheless has continued to treat chronic diseases allopathically, with medicines and formulas that can only cause a disease condition --God knows which --dissimilar to the one being treated? Even if these physicians have not hitherto observed nature attentively enough, the miserable results of their treatment should have taught them that they were on the wrong road.
