The Golden Age

"Nostalgia is denial - denial of the painful present... the name for this denial is golden age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one ones living in - its a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present." -Midnight in Paris

At first I disliked this quote and thought the character that said this in the film was a complete asshole. But now that I have mused it over, maybe it's true....
