About this Quote

John James Audubon's quote expresses his yearning to go back to America and never return to Europe. He believes that he will find more assurance and physical convenience in America than anywhere else worldwide. This sentiment is likely due to the reality that America was his home and he had a strong connection to it. He likely felt more comfy and safe and secure in America than he did in Europe. In addition, he may have found the culture and way of life of America more attractive than that of Europe. Audubon's quote is a testament to the power of home and the comfort it can bring. It is a reminder that no matter where we go, there is nothing quite like the feeling of remaining in our own house.
