Quotes: Nostalgia Aint Like It Used To Be
"Things were always better than they are now. It's in the nature of things."
The Abbot, Small Gods

"If you can remember The Sixties, you weren't really there."
Unknown / Disputed, frequently attributed to Grace Slick, Paul Kantner, Dennis Hopper, George Harrison, Robin Williams and Judy Collins, among others.

'"If you can remember the 1960s, you were there but had to work in a factory or as a postman or something because your daddy didn’t own Kent."
Andrew of "The Mindless Ones", reviewing League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1969 and disputing the above.

Can you remember the days when life was a cabaret?
The water - it was wetter
The food - it tasted better
And everything was cheaper
And people all believe in something rather than nothing
And your neighbours were so trusting
The music had more tune and
Men landed on the moon and
The king was doing his thing and making all the ladies swoon and
The Beatles sang together
We had such lovely weather
I wasn't born but it's so easy to remember
Infusion, Memory Cheats
