“Maybe home is nothing but two arms holding you tight when you’re at your worst.”
“Listen, whatever you see and love— that’s where you are.”
“I used to think it was mere homesickness, then I started getting it at home.”
“Home s where you go when you run out of homes.”
“Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”
“At the end of the day, it isn’t where I came from. Maybe home is somewhere I’m going and never have been before.”

“Love is always ready to deny itself, to give, sacrifice, just in the measure of its sincerity and intensity. Perfect love is perfect self-forgetfulness. Hence where there is love in a home, unselfishness is the law. Each forgets self and lives for others. But where there is selfishness it mars joy. One selfish soul will destroy the sweetness of life in any home. It is like an ugly bush in the midst of a garden of flowers. It was selfishness that destroyed the first home and blighted all the loveliness of Paradise; and it has been blighting lovely things in earth s home ever since. We need to guard against this spirit.”
