Home is where the people who live there need me to come home to them, and worry about me when I'm gone. There's no such place on this earth, no matter how far I drive.

 
Orson Scott Card
 

My home is my paradise. When I come home at night, I feel an overall peaceful sensation. We will never give this place up.

 
Gloria Estefan
 

Some men are born husbands; they have a passion for domesticity, for a fireside, for a home. Yet, curiously, these men very rarely stay at home. Apparently what they want is to have a place to get away from.

 
Ada Leverson
 

There’s no place like home / No place like home / To return to.

 
musical group Devo
 

No man has a home unless he is master of a place where he must please no one—a place where he can go and lock the door behind him.

 
Gene Wolfe
 

[A]dventures befall the unadventurous as readily, if not as frequently, as the bold. Adventures are a logical and reliable result—and have been since at least the time of Odysseus—of the fatal act of leaving one's home, or trying to return to it again. All adventures happen in that damned and magical space, wherever it may be found or chanced upon, which least resembles one's home. As soon as you have crossed your doorstep or the county line, into that place where the structures, laws, and conventions of your upbringing no longer apply, where the support and approval (but also the disapproval and repression) of your family and neighbors are not to be had: then you have entered into adventure, a place of sorrow, marvels, and regret.
