    The quote means that we ''can't go home, again,'' so to speak. You can revisit your childhood home for example, but your experiences as an adult visiting your childhood home, will be new and different. You'll only have memories of ''what once was.'' Kind of like the saying ''you can't dip your toe in the same lake twice,'' which means that we can go back to places of fond memories, but we won't have those exact same experiences ever again.

    There is no there...there.

    That's how Gertrude Stein meant it; how did you interpret the quote, river? (when you posted ''disagree'')
