Homesick

Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline

"New York does nothing for those of us who are inclined to love her except implant in our hearts a homesickness that baffles us until we go away from her, and then we realize why we are restless. At home or away, we are homesick for New York not because New York used to be better and not because she used to be worse but because the city holds us and we don't know why."
Maeve Brennan, The Long-Winded Lady
