Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a quote about missing a specific country?
Yes, one speaker describes longing for Scotland after spending stretches of time living in America. It ties homesickness to a real geographic distance rather than just a passing mood.
Does homesickness only happen when you're far away for a long time?
Not according to this page, some lines describe the feeling arising quickly or settling in deeply without needing years abroad. It can strike after just a short while, as one quote implies.
What does one quote mean by feeling homesick "inside"?
It points to homesickness as an internal, sometimes private ache rather than something visibly obvious to others. That quieter side of the feeling contrasts with the more situational lines on this page.
Are these quotes only about missing family?
