Disassociation. It is a word I have heard before but never in reference to that mind trick I had used to cope. That trick isn't a figment of my imagination. It was real. It had a name. And if the coping mechanism was real, it means what I have experienced was real too.

Detachment Quotes : pic 000217944
We call it a Society; and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness; but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named fair competition and so forth, it is a mutual hostility.
Detachment Quotes : pic 000964361
Separation
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
Detachment Quotes : pic 000062807
Sometimes, it is necessary for me to step back from my emotions and my life. I need to be the outsider looking in, sitting in the objective chair, as a witness. As opposed to being so entangled in my feelings, that they become a noose around my neck.

Sometimes isolation can be shared.

The world is full of moments when people cross the line from engagement into disengagement, replacing creativity and passion with stagnation and resentment.

Detachment Quotes : pic 000042624
To understand one's world, one must sometimes turn away from it! To serve better, one must briefly hold it at a distance. Where can the necessary solitude be found, the long breathing space in which mind gathers its strength and takes stock of its courage.
Detachment Quotes : pic 001509271

Detachment Quotes : pic 001188480
When there is no attachment-abhorrence; one is on the path of liberation [moksha].

Detachment Quotes : pic 000789357
I gang my own gait and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties I have never lost an obstinate sense of detachment, of the need for solitude - a feeling which increases with the years.
Detachment Quotes : pic 000408124
My isolation is not a search for happiness, which I do not have the heart to win, nor for peace, which one finds only when it will never more be lost; what I seek is sleep, extinction, a small surrender.
Detachment Quotes : pic 000689134

Estrangement and belonging, an effect of distance and closeness at the same time.
Detachment Quotes : pic 000725580
The revulsion from an unwanted self, and the impulse to forget it, mask it, slough it off and lose it, produce both a readiness to sacrifice the self and a willingness to dissolve it by losing one's individual distinctness in a compact collective whole.
