Nostalgia quotes
George Ball once famously told Newsweek in 1971, nostalgia is a seductive liar.
W. Somerset Maugham, in his novel, ‘Of Human Bondage’
“It is an illusion that youth are happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded.”
The fantasies of the past, determined by the needs of the present, have a direct impact on the realities of the future.

true nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories
“It is strange how we hold on to the pieces of the past while we wait for our futures.”
Ally Condie, Matched
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.”
Albert Camus, The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt
“Nostalgia is a necessary thing, I believe, and a way for all of us to find peace in that which we have accomplished, or even failed to accomplish. At the same time, if nostalgia precipitates actions to return to that fabled, rosy-painted time, particularly in one who believes his life to be a failure, then it is an empty thing, doomed to produce nothing but frustration and an even greater sense of failure.”
R.A. Salvatore, Streams of Silver
“One is always at home in one's past...”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory
“It's not like I'm all into nostalgia and history, it's just that I can't stand the way things are now”
Novala Takemoto, Missin' (Novel)
