Anaïs Nin, from The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 5: 1947-1955
[Text ID: I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me — the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.]
“I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.”
– Melissa Cox
“I’m homesick all the time,” she said, still not looking at him “I just don’t know where home is.”
– Sarah Addison Allen, The Girl Who Chased the Moon
“I want to go home, but I don’t know where it is.”
– Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game
“I want to go home. I will always want to go home. Even when I am at home I want to go home. But I’m not really thinking of a place, it’s more that feeling of everything finally being over, of seeing the light in the windows of your house on a cold night, of being safe, the relief of leaving a party you’re not enjoying, like when you felt sick at school and they sent you home, or when you got upset at a sleepover and they called your parents. I want my mam to come get me. I want to go home.”
