Delightful quotes that celebrate the sweetness of home.

Top Quotes About Home

It is said that there is no place like home. Then, what is it that makes a house a home? For one, it is the one place in the whole world where people feel most comfortable, where they yearn to wind up after a tedious day. It is most often the place where they live for the most part of their lives and they feel a kind of synchronization to that place that allow them to move smoothly even in the dark. It is also the place where they spend time with people closest to them, the other members of the family, who make the home 'sweet home'. Considering that 'home' is more of a feeling than a place, it is possible for someone to 'feel at home' while with a special person or a cherished object. We have collected some delightful quotes that celebrate the sweetness of home.

There's unconditional love there. You hear that phrase a lot but it's real with me and her [June Carter]. She loves me in spite of everything, in spite of myself.

When it gets dark and everybody's gone home and the lights are turned off, it's just me and her.

It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.
