"I don't trust anybody's nostalgia but my own. Nostalgia is a product of dissatisfaction and range. It's a settling of grievances between the past and the present. The more powerful the nostalgia, the closer you come to violence. War is the form nostalgia takes when men are hard-pressed to say something good about their country."
