The stronger the nostalgia, the emptier of recollections it becomes. For nostalgia does not heighten memory's activity, it does not awaken recollection; it suffices unto itself, unto its own feelings, so fully absorbed is it by its suffering and nothing else.
~Ignorance by Milan Kundera
if i set my mind on you, then it's you and only you that i want. even though you are already dead to me, my devotion prevails.
