“People often belittle the place where they were born.”

“Home was not the place where you were born but the place you created yourself, where you did not need to explain, where you finally became what you were.”

“...I often wondered about the definition of home. Is it the place where you live, or is it the place where the people you love reside?...”

“San Francisco is the place where most people were last seen”

“He wondered if such things were born into people. If perhaps we cannot alter who we are - if the place we come from dictates the place we will end up.”

“At least we have the record, Henry thought. A reminder of a place where people didn't seem to care what you looked like, where you were born, or where your family was from. When the music played, it didn't seem to make one lick of difference if your last was Abernathy or Anjoy, Kung or Kobayashi.”
