Quotes by Robert Del Naja

I don’t think I’ve got a problem with nostalgia, because a lot of the time things are self-referential.

Quotes by Robert Del Naja

Quotes by Ralph Macchio

Shyambazar evokes a strong sense of nostalgia in me. There's not a theatre in that area where I haven't watched a movie. I also have fond memories of going grocery-shopping at Grey Street with my grandparents.

Quotes by Princess Nokia

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Quotes by Peter De Vries

Quotes by Peter Carey

There are bands that I got into when I was 15, when I was mad at my dad and just wanted to be different. I don't think I'd give those bands half a chance now. But I hold some kind of nostalgia for them that I won't let go. Bands like Minor Threat and Black Flag.

Quotes by Nicole Krauss

Nostalgia can be extremely powerful in the right hands: think of the intense longing in the films Andrei Tarkovsky made after he left the U.S.S.R. They wring your soul.

Quotes by Neel Mukherjee

Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually.

I'm terribly nostalgic, but I'm with the Elizabethans who thought nostalgia was a disease. It's a dangerous place to be because you can get caught up in it.

Quotes by Mark Gatiss

It was such an idyllic time when I grew up in Hong Kong. It was a British colony and very much geared towards buying the best of Britain. My childhood does have a huge influence on how we design. There must be a little bit of that nostalgia - childhood is so special.

Quotes by Marie-Chantal Claire

I hate nostalgia, I want nothing to do with it.

Quotes by Marc Ribot

I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine.

Quotes by Lawrence Kudlow

I love nostalgia.

Quotes by Lauv

Quotes by Katie Kitamura

I took home the pattapatti underwear that I wore in 'Paruthiveeran' for nostalgia's sake.

Quotes by Karthi

I'm not the sort to wallow in nostalgia about the good old days.

Quotes by Kabir Bedi

Everything can be killed except nostalgia for the kingdom, we carry it in the color of our eyes, in every love affair, in everything that deeply torments and unties and tricks.

Quotes by Julio Cortazar

Why have we had to invent Eden, to live submerged in the nostalgia of a lost paradise, to make up utopias, propose a future for ourselves?

Quotes by Julio Cortazar

Sharp nostalgia, infinite and terrible, for what I already possess.

Quotes by Juan Ramon Jimenez

I kicked college nostalgia in my late 20s. As much as I loved college and treasure the memories, I no longer want to go back.

Quotes by Josh Radnor

This was nostalgia in the literal Greek sense: the pain of not being able to return to one's home and family.

Quotes by John Thorn

My dread is for my show to be a nostalgia act. So the key to it is how do we keep it fresh?

Quotes by Joan Baez

Quotes by Jeff Nichols

Everyone is entitled to his own nostalgia.

Quotes by James Wolcott

I decided to make pictures of fragments, images that would spill off the canvas instead of recede into it like a medicine cabinet. I wanted to find images that were in a 'nether-nether-land': things that were a little out of style but hadn't reached the point of nostalgia.

Quotes by James Rosenquist

Nostalgia often leads to idle speculation.

Quotes by J. Paul Getty

Quotes by Ian Schrager

Nostalgic myself, I am a sucker for other men's nostalgia.

Quotes by Howard Jacobson

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.

Quotes by Gregory Benford

When you're a young person, the solace one can get from popular music is something I just have tremendous nostalgia for, affection for. I still have it.

Quotes by Greg Mottola

Startups alternate between nostalgia for the garage and millennial longing for a lucrative exit. But what I always keep in mind is how disconnected and purposeless I felt before Redfin or my earlier startup, Plumtree. All I ever wanted was to get into a situation where I could win. Everybody has that dream.

Quotes by Glenn Kelman

Nostalgia is, 'Hey, remember the other mall that used to be there?'

Quotes by George Saunders

Nostalgia is a seductive liar.

Quotes by George Ball

The thing I always liked best about touring abroad was constantly running into different people, different cultures, different foods. It really pumped up my batteries... I'm constantly playing to a demographically diverse audience... one generation is driven by nostalgia, the next by curiosity. And that's why I have no plans to retire.

Quotes by Gene Pitney

Really, each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s, and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone, as is complexity, contradiction, and an uncertain future.

Quotes by Gary Ross

The main actors on the world stage are the size of continents, be they nation states or voluntary groupings of nation states such as the E.U. Nostalgia can help us ignore these harsh realities for a while, but it will not make them go away.

Quotes by Frank Miller

I have no sense of nostalgia. Tomorrow is what interests me.

Quotes by Francois Pinault

True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories.

Quotes by Florence King

I find it always pleasurable talking with young people, particularly those aspiring to be writers, out of nostalgia, and because I've always felt that we oldies can learn so much from them and draw from them inspiration in our flagging and rickety years.

Quotes by F. Sionil Jose

My wife and I often visit Rosales and the Ilokos as a matter of habit or whim induced by nostalgia, homesickness - whatever draws pilgrims to worshipped sanctuaries. Or, perhaps, what compels moths to seek the votive flame.

Quotes by F. Sionil Jose

I noticed in the late 1990s that my friends and I were already nostalgic for the 1980s, and by the turn of the century, VH1's 'I Love the '80s' gave all of us an accelerated nostalgia for our generation.

Quotes by Ernest Cline

A lot of designers still have nostalgia for the past. As for the furniture in the future, I hope they use less of real wood. Conservation in wood is necessary.

Quotes by Elsa Peretti

Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days.

Quotes by Doug Larson

I think I would have been a totally different kind of writer if I'd gone to England. I might have developed a cynicism about my origins, a belittling of them, or an excessive nostalgia for them.

Quotes by Derek Walcott

I want to see the '70s guys, if they're gonna do something, stay valid in the '90s. Then they belong. If they're trapped in the '70s, then it's nostalgia. You're not getting me in those platform shoes again.

Quotes by Dennis DeYoung

There's a certain nostalgia and romance in a place you left.

Quotes by David Guterson

I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows.

Quotes by David Cassidy

Quotes by Daniel Hope

Hollywood is in love with any kind of nostalgia that can prove itself to be commercial.

Quotes by Dan Aykroyd

I don't want to be a slave to nostalgia.

Quotes by Cullen Bunn

Quotes by Charles Murray

For me as a solo artist, I never want to be a nostalgia act.

Quotes by Bret Michaels

When I drive into Augusta and down Magnolia Lane, there's just a spirit and nostalgia about it that you experience nowhere else. Why? Because it's the same place every year.

Quotes by Billy Casper

Many of my cartoons are not a belly laugh. I go for nostalgia, the lump in the throat, the tear in the eye, the tug in the heart.

Quotes by Bil Keane

I'm not interested in nostalgia; I'm interested in who I am.

Quotes by Ariel Pink

Trump, despite his shallow depth of biblical knowledge, plays into both the apocalyptic end-time fears of evangelicals and their nostalgia for a 'small town' America.

Quotes by Anthea Butler

Nostalgia, the vice of the aged. We watch so many old movies our memories come in monochrome.

Quotes by Angela Carter

I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.

Quotes by Andy Summers

Quotes by Amitava Kumar

In the poetry of immigrants, nostalgia is as common as confetti at parades or platitudes at political conventions.

Quotes by Amitava Kumar

Politicians generally act as if there is no cost to reconnecting with voters by building new New Deals. But the whole exercise of writing law out of New Deal nostalgia is a form of national narcissism. Call it New Deal narcissism.

Quotes by Amity Shlaes
