When the word 'nostalgia' was coined in the 18th century, it was used to describe a pathology - not so much a sense of lost time, but a severe homesickness.

Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.

Nostalgia is something we think of as fuzzy. But it's pain. Pain concerning the past.

I was spending most of my summers in Greece when I was a little girl, and at boarding school my first room-mate was Greek, so I guess I kind of had that Greek destiny.

Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything.

True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories.

There's a certain nostalgia and romance in a place you left.

People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy.

A society that has made 'nostalgia' a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.

Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days.
