Nostalgia can be more painful than a surgeon's knife.

About This Quote

Nostalgia is a feeling of longing for something that is lost. When it comes to nostalgia, you might think that the feeling of being pained by it is more painful than the actual memories you are longing for. This may seem obvious, but there have been countless occasions where people have suffered emotionally because they miss things that never existed in their lives. Nostalgia can be painful because it can make you feel stuck in a time where life was more simple.
