A Quote by Philip Larkin

Home is so sad. It stays as it was left, / Shaped to the comfort of the last to go / As if to win them back

Peter Hinwood found all these old pictures - Polaroids - and when I saw them, I just didn't believe that the person in them was connected with me. I was in a hotel room with one of those front-and-back mirrors, and I thought, Who the hell is that? I used to be thin as a rake. I used to have the nice-shaped pecs. It's sad. No, it's not sad, it's the reality, and I've accepted this now.

Manolo Blahnik

California is very much my home, and has been for the last eight yeas. It doesn't matter where I am, the inner me stays the same, home is wherever I happen to be living with Tracey, my companion of the last eighteen years.

Brian Williams

You'd go to a Pakistani party and the men and women would go in at the front door and the women would go to the right and the men would go to the left, and that was the last that we'd see of them until we were coming home.

Peter Scott

I was sad to leave Green Bay, and I don't think I would have left to go anywhere but home to Carolina.

Julius Peppers

I left home to go to college, and then I moved back home. I moved back for three years from 21 to 24.

Will Ferrell

I hadn't won in Europe for two years, although I won twice in America last year, but it's great to come back and win. You never want to go a year without a win. It's very special to win and I'm really happy the way I did it.

Padraig Harrington

The pitch would normally be low, but my ball starts carrying and stays on a sustained plane. Everyone always complains - 'that ball is low' - but then you go back and look at the tape, and it's right there. My catchers tell me, and the hitters tell me, that the ball stays true flight the last five or six feet.

Roy Oswalt

I have friends in Manchester, some of them go to the away games with United and they were sad when I left to go on loan.

Andreas Pereira

In a democracy, hostage tactics are the last resort for those who can’t otherwise win their fights through elections, can’t win their fights in Congress, can’t win their fights for the Presidency, and can’t win their fights in Courts. For this right-wing minority, hostage-taking is all they have left – a last gasp of those who cannot cope with the realities of our democracy.

Elizabeth Warren

...the dark ancestral cave, the womb from which mankind emerged into the light, forever pulls one back - but...you can't go home again...you can't go...back home to the escapes of Time and Memory. You Can't Go Home Again

Thomas Wolfe

You can celebrate the female form in comfort. We left corsets behind in the dark ages, so why bring them back now?

L'Wren Scott

I do not agree with Thomas Wolfe... about anything. You can go home again as long as you don't expect home to be what it was when you left it. Or you don't expect yourself to be what you were when you left home.

Raymond Burr

I can't come back home with an agreement that will not be a win-win-win situation for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal

Whenever the Klitschkos pick opponents who punch back, things go pear-shaped for them.

David Haye

if i win and you die, i dont have a home to go back to. you are my life.

Suzanne Collins

I couldn't ever go back home without being something. I probably would never have gone back home. That was definitely a big motivation. To get back home, and not empty-handed.

The Weeknd
