Quote by Edward George BulwerLytton

Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.

Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.

Summary

This quote suggests that when two individuals or paths of life separate, it is similar to ships sailing in different directions, creating a significant physical and emotional distance between them. Like ships that continue on their separate voyages, individuals who go their own ways may find themselves adrift in separate experiences and lifestyles, no longer connected as closely as they once were. This quote serves as a metaphor highlighting the sense of detachment and divergence that can occur when personal or relational journeys diverge.
