Departure

Famous quotes containing the word departure:

“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)

“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)

“Some departure from the norm
Will occur as time grows more open about it.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
