“Nostalgia (noun)
1. The unsettling sensation that you are never able to fully access the past; that once you are departed from an event, some essential quality of it is lost forever.
2. A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
“Nostalgia não é saudade.
sim, são sinonimas, mas "sinônimo" é o mismo que "semelhante" e não "idêntico"
"Idêntico" é cem por cento "igual", enquanto que em "semelhante há pelo menos um percentual minimo de "diferente", de cualquier maneira saudade não e nostalgia.
Nostalgia é a nausea que se encontra numa paisagem. num cheiro. numa música, num vento que nos carrega para tão proximo de reviver una história, porem se esvai num relance.
Saudade é a falta que se sente do que já se foi, saudade se afina, saudade não e provocada no lance de uma sensação. Saudade e a própia sensação constante, um sentimiento abstrato quase sólido a beira do palpável.”

“NOSTALGIA
When I was a child, Nostalgia was a tiny postage stamp, I, on this side, My mother, on the other.
When I was older, Nostalgia became a ship ticket, I, on this side, My bride, on the other.
Later, Nostalgia was a squat tomb, I, outside. My mother, inside.
And now, Nostalgia is a coastline, a shallow strait. I, on this side, The mainland, on the other.”

“Nostalji kavramının, konu edindiği döneme ait bir içgörü sağlamaktansa, dönemin sadece süslü bir ambalajını sunduğunu düşünüyorum. Nostalji eylemi geçmişte yapılanları metalaştırıyor, bir tüketim nesnesi haline getiriyor. Keyif verici bir maddeye dönüşüyor geçmiş, yan etkisi ise geçmişle bugünü objektif bir şekilde değerlendirme yetisini köreltmek oluyor. Geçmişin olumsuzlukları göz ardı edilirken, bugün ve gelecek acı verici bir karamsarlığa bürünüyor.”

“Nostradamus gained worldwide notoriety through an accident of history, but, ultimately, he was, like his contemporaries, only a product of the times he lived in. Just the fact that the original French prophecies are organized in rhymed quatrains proves that they were not meant to communicate a certain message, but to entertain a bored society.”

“Nostradamus, who predicted that Billy Bailey would not come home. Never got a dinner!”
