Sunday Dinner: Nostalgia

“Memory believes before knowing remembers.

as they were.”

but people keep trying to live up to it.
There is no ‘what should be,’
there is only what is.”
.

“There comes a time in your life
when you have to choose to turn the page,
write another book
or simply close it.”

hold on to the pieces of the past
while we wait for our futures.”

“Nostalgia in reverse,
the longing for yet another strange land,
grew especially strong in spring.”

“For children, childhood is timeless. It is always the present.
Everything is in the present tense.
Of course, they have memories.
Of course, time shifts a little for them
and Christmas comes round in the end.
But they don’t feel it.
Today is what they feel,
and when they say ‘When I grow up,’
there is always an edge of disbelief—
how could they ever be other than what they are?”
.
Ian McEwan
