Quote by Nenia Campbell

“Jay could hear the roar of the ocean in the distance and it reminded her of her youth with the stinging salience of salt in a wound. No matter how hard she railed against sit, this place belonged to her as much as her own weary bones did, and she could not unknow the taste of those dark waters any more than she could the bitterness of citrus on a man’s clean skin.”

“18. yüzyılın ruh sağlığına ilgi duyan hekimleri sıla özlemini ve evden uzakta, gurbette olmanın acısını "nostalgia" kavramıyla ifade etmişlerdir. Bu sözcük 1688'de ilk defa kullanılmış ve daha çok evlerinden uzaktaki çökkün paralı askerlerde tanımlanmıştır. Bulgular ve teşhis, neden ve tedavi üzerine tezler kaleme alınmış; sonunda en iyi tedavinin nostus (eve dönüş) olduğunda fikir birliğine varılmıştır.”
