It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the roller-coaster or the jukebox.

When times are hard, we need each other. — Kasi Lemmons

Unknown names became household words, whilst others, those of the failures, were forgotten utterly except by kith and kin. — Amy Johnson
There is an universal tendency among mankind to conceive all beings like themselves, and to transfer to every object, those qualities, with which they are familiarly acquainted, and of which they are intimately conscious.

Bartlett Giamatti
Father and Mother had told their own little lies very well, and I realized immediately that the Gerrisens didn't know a thing.

Here I was looking at the first really familiar faces I'd seen in over a year, and they acted as though I'd merely been on vacation. — Diet Eman
The only real reason for self-referencing is the fun factor. It's fun for the writer, getting little peeks at what old characters might be up to.

I don't know that it does -- or even should -- contribute to the story in hand being any better than it would have been without it. — Charles de Lint
I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face. — Mary-Louise Parker
