Thomas Wolfe Quotes About Earth

• Todas las cosas de la tierra apuntan a casa en el viejo octubre; los marineros al mar, los viajeros a los muros y vallas, los cazadores al campo y al hueco y a la larga voz de los sabuesos, el amante al amor que ha abandonado.

  Thomas Wolfe

  Love, Wall, Home

• All things belonging to the earth will never change-the leaf, the blade, the flower, the wind that cries and sleeps and wakes again, the trees whose stiff arms clash and tremble in the dark, and the dust of lovers long since buried in the earth-all things proceeding from the earth to seasons, all things that lapse and change and come again upon the earth-these things will always be the same, for they come up from the earth that never changes, they go back into the earth that lasts forever. Only the earth endures, but it endures forever.

• But why had he always felt so strongly the magnetic pull of home, why had he thought so much about it and remembered it with such blazing accuracy, if it did not matter, and if this little town, and the immortal hills around it, was not the only home he had on earth? He did not know. All that he knew was that the years flow by like water, and that one day men come home again.

  Thomas Wolfe (2011). “You Can't Go Home Again”, p.77, Simon and Schuster

• There came to him an image of man’s whole life upon the earth. It seemed to him that all man’s life was like a tiny spurt of flame that blazed out briefly in an illimitable and terrifying darkness, and that all man’s grandeur, tragic dignity, his heroic glory, came from the brevity and smallness of this flame. He knew his life was little and would be extinguished, and that only darkness was immense and everlasting. And he knew that he would die with defiance on his lips, and that the shout of his denial would ring with the last pulsing of his heart into the maw of all-engulfing night.

  Thomas Wolfe

  Heart, Night, Men

• Something has spoken to me in the night...and told me that I shall die, I know not where. Saying: "[Death is] to lose the earth you know for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth.

  Thomas Wolfe

  Home, Night, Land

• The old hunger for voyages fed at his heart....To go alone...into strange cities; to meet strange people and to pass again before they could know him; to wander, like his own legend, across the earth--it seemed to him there could be no better thing than that.

  Thomas Wolfe

  Heart, Cities, People

• No hay visión más atractiva en la tierra que la de una mujer preparando la cena para alguien a quien quiere.

  Thomas Wolfe

  Love, Food, Sight

• And who shall say--whatever disenchantment follows--that we ever forget magic; or that we can ever betray, on this leaden earth, the apple-tree, the singing, and the gold?
