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)

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

    “... no other railroad station in the world manages so mysteriously to cloak with compassion the anguish of departure and the dubious ecstasies of return and arrival. Any waiting room in the world is filled with all this, and I have sat in many of them and accepted it, and I know from deliberate acquaintance that the whole human experience is more bearable at the Gare de Lyon in Paris than anywhere else.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
