Quote #2195 from On seeing and noticing by Alain de Botton

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

It may be easier to give way to sadness here than in a living room with wallpaper and framed photos. the decòr of a refuge that has let us down. (...) In a variety of underfined ways, home appears to have betrayed them, forcing them out into the night or on to the road. the twenty-four-hour diner, the station waiting room or motel are sanctuaries for those who have, for noble reasons, failed to find a home in the ordinary world.
