Winter Home

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or home:

“He is the rich man, and enjoys the fruits of riches, who summer and winter forever can find delight in his own thoughts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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 rollercoaster 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 (1917–1967)
