    “What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hideyhole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luck Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there’s a message there, I don’t think I want to hear it.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    “We cannot know how much we learn
    From those who never will return,
    Until a flash of unforeseen
    Remembrance falls on what has been.”

    “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
    There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
    There is society where none intrudes
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
    I love not man the less, but nature more,”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “O Time and Change!—with hair as gray
    As was my sire’s that winter day,
    How strange it seems, with so much gone
    Of life and love, to still live on!”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
