If we fill the air with enough meaningless words, then we can pretend that we don’t actually want what we want. "

"We are the generation of nostalgia. We grew up in the age of transition. From hand-written letters to electronic mails. From film to digital. We were fascinated by new things, neglecting the way we spend our afternoons. Cupcakes and tea. Play-Doh and Polly Pockets. Young and naive.

We grew up in the age of transition and have become the generation of nostalgia. "
