Famous quotes containing the word departure:

    “The myths have always condemned those who “looked back.” Condemned them, whatever the paradise may have been which they were leaving. Hence this shadow over each departure from your decision.”
    —Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)

    “An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.”
    —Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

    “Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
