Eh, well, no. If I'm interviewing someone and they told me that, my first ( internal ) reaction would be "You return to the same job after you take a sabbatical. If you didn't, you either quit or got fired. What's this guy trying to hide?"

If you're sitting in front of someone, be honest. There's absolutely nothing wrong with quitting, for any number of reasons, professional or personal. But if you sound like you're equivocating or being disingenuous, you're putting up a huge red flag that makes the interviewer wonder what else you're trying to hide.
