Nostalgic memories...

A Nostalgic Memory....

How sad and bad and mad it was - but then, how it was sweet.
(Robert Browning)

Nostalgia is like a grammar lesson: you find the present tense, but the past perfect.
(Owens Lee Pomeroy)

Forgetting isn't enough. You can paddle away from the memories and think they are gone. But they will keep floating back, again and again and agian. They circle you, like sharks. Until, unless, something, someone? Can do more than just cover the wound.
(Sara Zarr-Story of a Girl)

Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.
(Marcel Proust)
