Can you imagine how it is, to want to be neither inside nor outside, to want to be nowhere and disappear?

“Every time I try to leave, something keeps pulling me back”.

It is worse to stay where one does not belong at all than to wander about lost for a while and looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires

Nowhere to go but out,
Nowhere to come but back.

I don't like to wander.

Despair is anger with no place to go.

A person who longs to leave the place where he lives is an unhappy person.

I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is the leaving you all. I'm not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven.

you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.

"I'm sorry! I really am! I wanted to get out of this place! I want to live! I want to get away from here and never see it again! I hate everything about it!"

"You will hate the next place, too," I said. "What you are you will carry with you."

He hated all this, and somehow he couldn't get away.

I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted.

The world is a fine place and worth fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

No man leaves where he is and seeks a distant place unless he is in some respect a failure.
