a quote

Being in a foreign country means walking a tightrope high above the ground without the net afforded a person by the country where (s)he has his(her) family, colleagues, and friends, and where he can easily say what he has to say in a language he has known from childhood. -
exerpted from The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera (currently reading)
