Nostalgia Quotes

The voice so filled with nostalgia that you could almost see the memories floating through the blue smoke, memories not only of music and joy and youth, but perhaps, of dreams. They listened to the music, each hearing it in his own way, feeling relaxed and a part of the music, a part of each other, and almost a part of the world Picture Quote #1

His crush went from exciting to depressing, as if he’d gone from the first blush of infatuation to the terminal nostalgia of a former lover without even the temporary relief of an actual relationship in between Picture Quote #1

Remember this... develop a sense of nostalgia for something, or you’ll never figure out what’s important Picture Quote #1

It’s a strange grief…to die of nostalgia for something you never lived Picture Quote #1

The wish to be understood may be our most vengeful demand, may be the way we hang on, as asults, to our grudge against our mothers; the way we never let our mothers off the hook for their not meeting our every need. Wanting to be understood, as adults, can be our most violent form of nostalgia Picture Quote #1

Some of my relatives held on to imagined memories the way homeless people hold onto lottery tickets. Nostalgia was their crack cocaine, if you will, and my childhood was littered with the consequences of their addiction : unserviceable debts, squabbles over inheritances, the odd alcoholic or suicide Picture Quote #1

People look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful white male Picture Quote #1

What’s important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It’s not what we say but how we say it that matters Picture Quote #1

I began a lifelong affair with nostalgia, with only the vaguest notions of what I was nostalgic for Picture Quote #1

If there is any kind of legitimate ostalgia, it’s for everything we’ve never even seen, the women we’ve never slept with, never dreamed of, the friends we haven’t made, the books we’ve never read, all the food steaming in the pots we’ve never eaten out of. That’s the only real kind of nostalgia there is Picture Quote #1

It is to have a compulsive, repetitive, and nostalgic desire for the archive, an irrepressible desire to return to the origin, a homesickness, a nostalgia for the return to the most archaic place of absolute commencement Picture Quote #1

If you know that I am an unbeliever, then you know me better than I do myself. I may be an unbeliever, but I am an unbeliever who has a nostalgia for a belief Picture Quote #1

Sentiment and nostalgia are fatal for fiction. One must go into the territory of the imagination with sure feet, hot fainting with glorious misery Picture Quote #1

As I’ve gotten older I’ve occasionally found myself nostalgic for earlier periods of solitude, though I realize that’s also likely a false nostalgia, as I know there was nothing I wanted more during those periods than to not be alone, whatever that means Picture Quote #1

To me, nostalgia is nothing more than a mindless plundering of the past for the commonplace Picture Quote #1

Nostalgia locates desire in the past where it suffers no active conflict and can be yearned toward pleasantly Picture Quote #1

Today I live on an island, in a house that is sad, hard, severe, that I built for myself, solitary on a sheer rock over the sea: a house that is the spectre, the secret image of prison. The image of my nostalgia. Maybe I never desired, not even then, to escape from jail. Man is not meant to live freely in freedom, but to be free inside a prison Picture Quote #1

He is already past the high point in his life and coming down on the other side. By next week he’ll be nostalgia. He’s 12 years old, and it’s over for him Picture Quote #1

History is the art of making an argument about the past by telling a story accountable to evidence. In the writing of history, a story without an argument fades into antiquarianism; an argument without a story risks pedantry. Writing history requires empathy, inquiry, and debate. It requires forswearing condescension, cant, and nostalgia. The past isn’t quaint. Much of it, in fact, is bleak Picture Quote #1

Sentimentality and nostalgia are closely related. Kissing cousins. I have no time for nostalgia, though. Nostalgics believe the past is nicer than the present. It isn’t. Or wasn’t. Nostalgics want to cuddle the past like a puppy. But the past has bloody teeth and bad breath. I look into its mouth like a sorrowing dentist Picture Quote #1

Do one thing every day that scares you... Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own... Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth Picture Quote #1

I never think that sticking slavishly to one period is successful, a touch of nostalgia adds charm. One needs light and shade because if every piece is perfect the room becomes a museum and lifeless Picture Quote #1

I wonder, only in passing, whether the indelible ornamentation that man inscribes upon his own epidermis does not respond to a nostalgia for the universal internally generated coloring of corrollas, furs, shells, carapaces and wings. For man it has been necessary to create both works and tools outside of himself. But it may be that he retains an obscure nostalgia to create them on his own body, to make them a part of it rather than projecting them outwards onto an independent surface, where he is free to retouch them as he sees fit, which is precisely what painting and art are Picture Quote #1

The course of our lives follows ancient and immutable laws, with an ancient, changeless rhythm. Dreams never come true, and the instant they are shattered, we realize how the greatest joys of life lie beyond the realm of reality. The instant they are shattered we are sick with longing for the days when they flamed within us. Our fate spends itself in this succession of hope and nostalgia Picture Quote #1

What’s wrong with a bit of nostalgia between friends? I think nostalgia sometimes gets too much of a bad press Picture Quote #1

Nostalgia is something we think of as fuzzy. But it’s pain. Pain concerning the past Picture Quote #1

Music evokes so many feelings in us, memories, nostalgia, things that are connected to our past Picture Quote #1

There is no word for feeling nostalgic about the future, but that’s what a parent’s tears often are, a nostalgia for something that has not yet occurred. They are the pain of hope, the helplessness of hope, and finally, the surrender to hope Picture Quote #1

While I occasionally enjoy a bout of nostalgia, I would generally rather dream forward than backward Picture Quote #1

If you’re hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time Picture Quote #1
