“The worst feeling in the world is the homesickness that comes over a man occasionally when he is at home”
Edgar Watson Howe
“Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.”
Carol Nelson
“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”
Maya Angelou
“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.”
“A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.”
Robert Frost
“It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the roller-coaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.”
Carson McCullers
“It may just be because I get homesick, but I have concluded Washington's cherry blossoms are just plain overrated.”
Newt Gingrich
