Voyage Home

Famous quotes containing the words voyage and/or home:

    The world’s a ship on its voyage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Chinese were born ... with an accumulated wisdom, a natural sophistication, an intelligent naivete, and unless they were transplanted too young, these qualities ripened in them.... If ever I am homesick for China, now that I am home in my own country, it is when I discover here no philosophy. Our people have opinions and creeds and prejudices and ideas but as yet no philosophy.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
