Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or intrigue:
“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)
“I never had but one intrigue yet: but I confess I long to have another. Pray heaven it end as the first did tho’, that we may both grow weary at a time; for ‘tis a melancholy thing for lovers to outlive one another.”
—John Vanbrugh (1663–1726)
