“Writing books isn’t a drastic departure from writing for the stage,”
George Carlin
“The pen was his voice and the page his tears, when he was done; they called it a classic”
Richard Bellzon
“Writing books isn't a drastic departure from writing for the stage. I've always written in the long format, five, eight, 10-minute pieces rather than one-liners, so since writing books, the process hasn't changed much. A piece in my live routine can end up as part of one of my HBO specials, and it can also end up in one of the books.”
“There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.”
Tennessee Williams
“The hour of departure has arrived and we go our ways; I to die, and you to live. Which is better? Only God knows.”
Socrates
“An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.”
Pablo Picasso
“Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley
