Quotes from... Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín


Mario Cuadros




"You will feel so homesick that you will want to die. And there is nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won’t kill you. And one day, the sun will come out. You might not even notice it straight away, it will be that faint. And then you will catch yourself thinking about something, someone that has no connection to the past. Someone who is only yours. And you will realize that this is where your life is.”

  1. Oh, this was a great book. And movie! What Toibin says about homesickness -- and growing up -- is so true.
