Famous quotes containing the words departure and/or book:
“An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.”

“The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
