John Cheever People Quotations

Homesickness is nothing Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time.

People look for morals in fiction because there has always been a confusion between fiction and philosophy.

Homesickness is nothing. Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time.

How can a people who do not mean to understand death hope to understand love, and who will sound the alarm?

Homesickness is . . . absolutely nothing. Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time. . . . You don't really long for another country. You long for something in yourself that you don't have, or haven't been able to find.

The deep joy we take in the company of people with whom we have just recently fallen in love is undisguisable.
