“I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.”
“There are two kinds of houses in the neighborhood where I grew up-the ones where the parents stayed married, and the ones where they didn’t.”
“It seems to me that I will always be happy in the place where I am not.”
“In other words: It seems to me that I will always be happy in the place where I am not. Or, more bluntly: Wherever I am not is the place where I am myself. Or else, taking the bull by the horns: Anywhere out of the world.”
“It always seems to me that I should feel well in the place where I am not.”
“I am looking for the people who have always been there, and belong to the places they live. The others I do not wish to see.”
