You can't go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory.
John SteinbeckHe had said, "I am a man," and that meant certain things to Juana. It meant that he was half insane and half god. It meant that Kino would drive his strength against a mountain and plunge his strength against the sea. Juana, in her woman's soul, knew that the mountain would stand while the man broke himself; that the sea would surge while the man drowned in it. And yet it was this thing that made him a man, half insane and half god, and Juana had need of a man; she could not live without a man.
John SteinbeckWherever theyโs a fight so hungry people can eat, Iโll be there. Wherever theyโs a cop beatinโ up a guy, Iโll be there. If Casy knowed, why, Iโll be in the way guys yell when theyโre mad anโโIโll be in the way kids laugh when theyโre hungry nโ they know supperโs ready. Anโ when our folks eat the stuff they raise anโ live in the houses they buildโwhy, Iโll be there.
