Quote

As I prepare once again to get the hell out of Longwood, Fla.:

"For any halfway restless person, the home town, even when he willingly deceives himself about it, is highly unhomelike, a place of memories, of dolefulness, of pettiness, of shame, of being misled, of misuse of energy."
—Franz Kafka, in a diary entry quoted in the biography Kafka by Nicholas Murray.
