Quote

Nostalgia is eternal for Americans. We are often displaced from our origins and carry anxious memories of that lost past. We fear losing our bearings.

Americans have a penchant for the future and tend to disregard the past.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

My hunch is that pop culture began to stagnate the moment Americans started to love the past more than they did the future.

I've always felt that Americans are very in the moment. There's not so much melancholia and mystery as there is in France. Everything must be understood. Everything must be analyzed.

Time has lost all meaning in that nightmare alley of the Western world known as the American mind.

American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.

We have the American people properly concerned about the future of our country and the world.
