Quote

I don't think nostalgia is a healthy modality. But nostalgia and a sense of history are not the same thing. Nostalgia is a dysfunction of the historical impulse, or a corruption of the historical impulse.

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

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

I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.

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

I am not among those who engage in nostalgia, because I think that locks you into a moment in time without thinking about where you are, what needs to be done now.

I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That's where I was. We're here right now. Tomorrow, we'll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?
