Quote by Bryan Washington

“So, the next morning, despite everything, I’m at his door. My father’s door. And then I am knocking. Waiting. It’s hard to head home without succumbing to nostalgia, standing where so many versions of yourself once stood, one of a suburb’s magical properties.”

“Someone once said to me,” said Marguerite, “that our home, our special country, is where we find liberation. I suppose she meant that it is where our souls find it easiest to escape from self, and it seems to me it is that way with us when what is about us echoes the best that we are. You feel at home in places that are kind and with people who are good fun because you’re kind and amusing yourself.” “What’s your home like, Marguerite?” asked William. “I can’t describe it exactly,” said Marguerite. “But when I am living in a particular sort of way I say to myself that now I am in my own country. It is when I am living very simply, and rather hardly, and the light is clear and the wind cold and there aren’t any lies or subterfuges. When I am there I have a feeling that a door opens out of it into yet another country where my soul has always lived, and that one day I shall find out how to unlock the door.”

“A place which you can call Home, is where you are surrounded by people you love, is where you can talk about your fears, your vulnerabilities, is where you know you won't be judged for speaking what you think, is where you are often asked about your opinions, is where having a strong personality is a boon and not a curse, is where being independent is encouraged, Home can be a person miles away or the one sitting next to you, Choose your home wisely because this where you are either gonna flourish or fade!”
