  • Ah walk doon Hammersmith Broadway, London seeming strange and alien, after only a three-month absence, as familiar places do when you’ve been away.

They say you have to live in a place to know it, but you have to come fresh tae really see it.

  • I need the sun, sand and ocean to rejuvenate my spirit, the food to enliven my body and all of the familiar places, friends and family to revitalize my soul. I go for replenishment. For a kind of love that I truly know. For a place of belonging, always.

  • the sudden violent dispossession accompanying a refugee flight is much more than the loss of a permanent home and a traditional occupation, or than the parting from close friends and familiar places.

  • Palestine is an extremely familiar place to me. Someone like me who lives everywhere in the world cannot be contained.

If the film is good, then it's universal.

    Carson McCullers (2017). “Carson McCullers: Stories, Plays & Other Writings”, p.408, Library of America
  • If I had stood at the free-throw line and thought about 10 million people watching me on the other side of the camera lens, I couldn't have made anything. So I mentally tried to put myself in a familiar place. I thought about all those times I shot free throws in practice and went through the same motion, the same technique that I had used thousands of times. You forget about the outcome. You know you are doing the right things. So you relax and perform.

    Michael Jordan (1994). “I can't accept not trying: Michael Jordan on the pursuit of excellence”

    Men   Familiar   Findings  
  • Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.

  • It's funny how you can't ask difficult questions in a familiar place, how you have to stand back a few feet and see things in a new way before you realize nothing that is happening to you is normal. The trouble with you and me is we are used to what is happening to us. We grew into our lives like a kernel beneath the earth, never able to process the enigma of our composition...Nothing is normal. It is all rather odd, isn't it, our eyes in our heads, our hands with five fingers, the capacity to understand beauty, to feel love, to feel pain.

    Pain   Eye   Feet  
  • We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.

    Carson McCullers (2017). “Carson McCullers: Stories, Plays & Other Writings”, p.408, Library of America
