Quotes about Shears

Sin does to a life what shears do to a flower. A cut at the stem separates a flower from the source of life. Initially the flower is attractive, still colorful and strong. But watch that flower over a period of time, and the leaves will wilt and the petals will drop. No matter what you do, the flower will never live again.

And sing to those that hold the vital shears; And turn the adamantine spindle round, On which the fate of gods and men is wound.
