Give me the waters of Lethe that numb the heart, if they exist, I will still not have the power to forget you.

Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.

Homesickness is. . . absolutely nothing. Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time. You don't really long for another country. You long for something in yourself that you don't have, or haven't been able to find.

Homesickness is nothing Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time.

After about a month, the aches and pains are gone, but then the homesickness starts to set in. You've seen enough beautiful scenery, and now you just get up every day and trudge on.

Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I'm gazing at a distant star.
It's dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago.
Maybe the star doesn't even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.
