“Nostalgia is a necessary thing, I believe, and a way for all of us to find peace in that which we have accomplished, or even failed to accomplish. At the same time, if nostalgia precipitates actions to return to that fabled, rosy-painted time, particularly in one who believes his life to be a failure, then it is an empty thing, doomed to produce nothing but frustration and an even greater sense of failure.”
R. A. Salvatore

“Nostalgia is possibly the greatest of the lies that we all tell ourselves. It is the glossing of the past to fit the sensibilities of the present. For some, it brings a measure of comfort, a sense of self and of source, but others, I fear, takes these altered memories too far, and because of that, paralyze themselves to the realities about them.”

“There is one other error in the Gondsman’s line of resoning, I believe, on ap urely emotional level. If machines replace achievement, then to what will people aspire?

Opportunity should be equal, must be equal, but achievement must remain individual.”
R. A. Salvatore
Streams of Silver
“To grant the power of a weapon master to anyone at all, without effort, without training and proof that the lessons have taken hold, is to deny the responsibility that comes with such power.”

Streams of Silver
