"No Place like Home"
-
If one twists this quote, It can also mean that home is like no place. That home is no place but rather a feeling and state of mind.
One can see this theme in At home for Now Ford states " When my wife and i visit some faraway city and fetch up in gloomy Ramada or Crowne Plaza, She will Often, at the end of a long evening, gaze across the dinner table at me and smile and say Why don't we go home now? By that she doesn't mean, why don't we go back to the place you were born... She just means let's go back to our room and get in bed" In this quotation Ford states that home is a variable that changes and not a place. In the text he also mentions that he has lived in many states and considers that home is not a place but rather a state of mind
In Pride and Prejudice one observes that the Novel is based on the idea of Marriage. In the very first line of the book it is stated that "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of good fortune, must be in want of wife."
This quote shows that this novel is based on the idea of marriage.Marriage in itself shows that Home is like no place because the union of marriage changes the very meaning of home. All her life Elizabeth Benet and her sisters called their parent's house home but after marriage their definition of home changes. Because of the union their home is their husbands house or where their husbands live.This portrays that home is not a place but rather a state of mind.
Fun Home
In Fun home one can see that the kids call the funeral home a Fun home because they spent a lot of time there.They made fun of something that was supposed to be sad. This shows that place doesn't matter when it comes to the idea of home. Home is in the head.
The life changing magic of tidying up In this podcast the speaker talks about how to organize one's home and how if one touches it and it makes them feel connected it is worth keeping. It it talks how it is a feeling that makes us feel connected to things. The feeling goes the same for home. It is a feeling or state of mind that makes one feel connected to their home.

Another meaning of this quote can be what it was meant to be originally that there No better place like home or there is nothing that can compare to home
One example of this quote is the Movie that it is originally quoted from Wizard of Oz
In wizard of Oz Dorthy goes to this magical place that she has been longing for her whole life. A place "over the rainbow" but as soon as she gets to this magical place, she wants to come back. She comes to this magical colorful place but she prefers her old colorless home because there is "No place like home"
Queer Eye is also a demonstration of this theme.
When people see their houses redecorated, they realize what their house/ home hold potential and they also realize that that there is truly no place like home because they see their homes from a new light and a new perspective.
The Martian definitely makes us realize that there is truly no place like home. Earth is the only planet so far known to sustain life. Mars is not meant to sustain life and living there was a struggle for Mark Whitney. From that movie one can realize that there is no better place than earth because it sustains us and provides us with all the things that we need and require for living
Stone animals
In stone animals everything is haunted or becoming haunted. One would wonder that why would the family still live in the haunted house. They also tend to normalize the haunting and talk about it as if it was normal. This shows that homes come in many forms and even if it is weird, unique and twisted there is no place compared to home.
Get Out
In get out one observes that Chris's house is small compared to her girlfriend's house but his house is more homely and cozy. In the end of the movie when he realizes that his girlfriend and her family are crazy all he wants to do is get out and go home. No matter if his house is small it is 100 times better than the haunted house of his girlfriend's.
