Just thought I’d drop this poignant quote here from the brilliant Canadian author Robertson Davies:

The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.
Robertson Davies, “A Voice from the Attic”, 1960

Note: I highly recommend Davies “Deptford Trilogy”. One of my favourite literary series. For those interested in fantastical archetypes, Jungian psychology and mythology it is one of the masterpieces of literature from the 20th century.
