QUOTES ON EXILE :
Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer;
the secret of redemption lies in remembrance.
(Weizsker)
[He had] an accent that carried the longing cadence of the
exile.
(Evans)
I know how men in exile feed on dreams.
(Aeschylus)
Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others
have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends
are everything.
(Cather)
In New York City, everyone is an exile, none more so than
the Americans.
(Gilman)
The act of writing is for me often nothing more than the secret
or conscious desire to carve words on a tombstone: to the
memory of a town forever vanished, to the memory of a childhood
in exile, to the memory of all those I loved and who, before
I could tell them I loved them, went away.
(Wiesel)
Only that land is mine that lies in my soul. As a native with
no documents I enter that land.
(Chagal)
Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible
to experience. (Said)
The tender soul has fixed his love on one spot in the world;
the strong man has extended his love to all places; the perfect
man has extinguished his. (Hugo of St. Victor)
