Nostalgia Quotes Quotes

“يحتاج اﻹنسان إلى لحظات الوحدة... يشذب أغصان ماضيه اليابسة... يتفكر فيها كيف كانت و لما زالت.. يجمعها في النهاية و يحرقها في موقدة النسيان... يبقى رمادها ذكرى في أقبية القلب.. والرائحة لا تزول !”
― فايز غازي، Fayez Ghazi

“Anyone who could have seen her in front of the mirror, in ecstasy over her own regal gestures, would have had reason to think that she was mad. But she was not. She had simply turned the royal regalia into a device for her memory. The first time she put it on she could not help a knot from forming in her heart and her eyes filling with tears because at that moment she smelled once more the odor of shoe polish on the boots of the officer who came to get her at her house to make her a queen, and her soul brightened with the nostalgia of her lost dreams. She felt so old, so worn out, so far away from the best moments of her life that she even yearned for those that she remembered as the worst, and only then did she discover how much she missed the whiff of oregano on the porch and the smell of roses at dusk, and even the bestial nature of the parvenus. Her heart of compressed ash, which had resisted the most telling blows of daily reality without strain, fell apart with the first waves of nostalgia.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“Relația mă transforma. Mă făcea să urăsc persoana pe care o vedeam în oglindă, căci era opusul a ceea ce voiam să fiu, dar îmi lipsea tăria să pun punct. Mă agățam de momentele în care lui îi păsase de mine, uitasem să închid ușa trecutului și prin ea vedeam lucruri a căror umbră nici măcar nu o mai zăream în prezent. Aparent, speranța e o lamă cu două tăișuri, pe care ești nevoit să o cuprinzi între degete, legat la ochi fiind. Iar eu preferam să strâng mai bine fașa în loc să încerc să privesc prin ea.”
― Silvia D.F., Numele meu este Sonya

“RELFECTIONS (Time Machine III)

A young man stares at his reflection,
And sees an old man looking back.
“Where did the time go?” he wonders.
And, “How did we ever lose track?”
“Is this the same person,
that amounts to wondrous things?
How long did we spend dreaming?
Is this reflection really as it seems?
Who are you old man?
I’ve seen you in times before.
Is this, the face that greets me,
the mask I always wore?”
The young man drops his stare,
And moves towards the door.
The boy he thought he was,
He can recognize no more.”
― C. Sean McGee, {self-titled}
