Homesick

Famous quotes containing the word homesick:

“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)

“I think I’ll be homesick for you, even in heaven.”
—Victor Heerman (1893–1977)

“I’d rather be homesick than home.”
—Leo Vroman (b. 1915)
