There is nothing more agonising than the memory of good times when you are going through a difficult period in life. Life moves in only one direction - forward, but the memoirs of years gone by keep on haunting one’s soul till the time one is alive. Nostalgia can be more painful than a surgeon’s knife. Anurag Shourie
About This Quote

We all know that life is unpredictable and that situations can change in an instant. This quote talks about how memories that are not associated with the present can bring pain. It might be the memory of a person who used to be so close to us, but whom we now do not see or speak to. Or it could be the memory of a past time when we were happy and contented. However, these memories can haunt us because they remind us of what we could have had but didn’t because of circumstances beyond our control.
