“There is a Portuguese word, saudade, that they say has no translation. It’s bigger than homesickness or missing someone. It’s a yearning that can be expressed in no other language. It is, as one Azorean friend puts it, “a strictly Portuguese word.”
Diana Marcum, The Tenth Island: Finding Joy, Beauty, and Unexpected Love in the Azores

“Home—it seemed like a fragile idea to me. Is it where we’re from or where we are?”
Diana Marcum, The Tenth Island: Finding Joy, Beauty, and Unexpected Love in the Azores

“America has long been divided between those who believe its strength lies in diversity and those who are afraid of outsiders and blame social ills on whoever is in the latest wave of migrants.”
Diana Marcum, The Tenth Island: Finding Joy, Beauty, and Unexpected Love in the Azores
