Freya Stark Home Quotations

Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

Christmas... is not an eternal event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

Christmas, in fact, is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart: like a nursery story, its validity rests on exact repetition, so that it comes around every time as the evocation of one's whole life and particularly of the most distant bits of it in childhood.
