I am trying to find a quote that I once came across. The quote is about the realization that home is no longer home but just a place you seem to know. It is probably from a movie or television show but I cannot promise that. I do know that it was about a paragraph in length. At first I believed that it was from the show Everwood or the film The United States of Leland but now I am not quite as sure. Please Help!

Someone who read "Travels with Charley: In Search of America" by John Steinbeck posted these quotes on a website:
"And isn't this the typical complaint? I have never resisted change, even when it has been callled progress, and yet I felt resentment toward the strangers swamping what I thought of as my country with noise and clutter and the inevitable rings of junk. And of course these new people will resent the newer people. I remember as a child we responded to the natural dislike of the stranger. We who were born here and our parents also felt a strange superiority over newcomers, barbarians, forestieri, and they, the foreigners, resented us..."
Sometimes the view of change is distorted by a change in oneself. The room which seemed so large is shrunk, the mountain has become a hill."
"The place of my origin had changed and having gone away, I had not changed with it. In my memory it stood as it once did and its outward appearance confused and angered me. This must be the experience of very many in this nation where so many wander and come back."
