I always wanted to leave home. I never knew they were going to stop me from coming back. Maybe, if I knew, I never would have left. It is kind of painful to be away from everything that you've ever know. Nobody will know the pain of exile until you are in exile. No matter where you go, there are times when people show you kindness and love, and there are times when they make you know that you are with them but not of them. That's when it hurts.

 

Miriam Makeba

 

Is it possible that existence is our exile and nothingness our home?

 

Emil Cioran

 

Her tall figure, swathed in black, looking like some strange eccentric bird... she seemed like an ageing princess come home from exile.

 

Edith Sitwell

 

What captivity has been to the Jews, exile has been to the Irish. For us, the romance of our native land begins only after we have left home; it is really only with other people that we become Irishmen.

 

Peter Ackroyd

 

We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie;
Home's a long, long way from us.
I feel a dirty wind blowing;
Devils and dust.

 

Bruce Springsteen
