Quotes by Johan Bojer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If you came back, you wanted to leave again; if you went away, you longed to come back. Wherever you were, you could hear the call of the homeland, like the note of the herdsman's horn far away in the hills. You had one home out there and one over here, and yet you were an alien in both places. Your true abiding place was the vision of something very far off, and your soul was like the waves, always restless, forever in motion.”
Johan Bojer, The Emigrants
