Quote by Thomas Wolfe

You can't go home again

You can't go home again

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that once we have left a place or a phase in our lives, we cannot fully recreate or relive the same experience when we return. It suggests that the passage of time and the changes that occur within ourselves and the environment around us make it impossible to fully recapture the sense of familiarity, belonging, and comfort we once had. This statement serves as a reminder that we should cherish and appreciate the moments we have in the present, as it may be challenging or even impossible to recreate them in the future.

As a songwriter I hate this whole, 'If it's a sad song, it has to sound like a sad song thing.' And that goes all the way back to my days with the Format. I'm an insane narcissist, so if I have to get something off my chest, I'll get something off my chest.

We discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all...that life at any price has no value whatever; that life is nothing without the privileges, the prides, the rights, the joys that make it worth living and also worth giving...and that there is something more hideous, more atrocious than war or than death; and that is to live in fear.
