#apart

I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet, but something's going wrong. ↗

— Terry Pratchett

There's always a lot of talk about motivation to race, but nobody really knows what I do or what I think apart from myself, so I don't really care what people think. ↗

Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone. ↗

He whom God has touched will always be a being apart: he is, whatever he may do, a stranger among men; he is marked by a sign. ↗
