John Irving Quotes About Home

Quotes about: Home

• Ever since the Christmas of 1953, I have felt that the yuletide is a special hell for those families who have suffered any loss or who must admit to any imperfection; the so-called spirit of giving can be as greedy as receiving-Christmas is our time to be aware of what we lack, of who's not home.

  John Irving

  Christmas, Home, Loss

• Grown-ups shouldn’t finish books they’re not enjoying. When you’re no longer a child, and you no longer live at home, you don’t have to finish everything on your plate. One reward of leaving school is that you don’t have to finish books you don’t like.

  John Irving

  Children, Book, Home

• Almost everyone is dying to leave home, eventually; and almost everyone needs to.

  John Irving

  Home, Dying, Needs
