Rather Than The Obsession With Impurity, You'd Do Better To Fear The Nostalgia For Purity.
There Are A Few Moments In Your Life When You Are Truly And Completely Happy, And You Remember To Give Thanks. Even As It Happens You Are Nostalgic For The Moment, You Are Tucking It Away In Your Scrapbook.
The Problem With Relying On Nostalgia For Commentary Is That People Only Remember The Good Things.
We Are All Hostages, And We Are All Terrorists. This Circuit Has Replaced That Other One Of Masters And Slaves, The Dominating And The Dominated, The Exploiters And The Exploited. It Is Worse Than The One It Replaces, But At Least It Liberates Us From Liberal Nostalgia And The Ruses Of History.
When The Real Is No Longer What It Used To Be, Nostalgia Assumes Its Full Meaning.
What You End Up Remembering Isn't Always The Same As What You Have Witnessed.
My Dread Is For My Show To Be A Nostalgia Act. So The Key To It Is How Do We Keep It Fresh?
