I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but I feel as if it might encompass two of my favorite twisted truisms:
"Nostalgia isn't what it used to be."
Simone Signoret
"Youth is wasted on the young."
Oscar Wilde
Oh, I did not know that quote came from Oscar Wilde.
The Fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronn tuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnu k!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is rtaled early in bed and later on a life down thorugh all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute of Finnegan, erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends an unquiring one well to the west in a quest of his tumptytoes; and their upturnpikepointandplace is at knock out in the park where oranges have been laid to rust upon the green since devlinsfirst loved livvy.

"In fact only 6 people in the entire universe know that it is not the job of the president to wield power but rather to draw attention away from it"
Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment. - Mario Puzo
Memory can change the shape of a room, it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record. And they're irrelevant if you have the facts. - C. Nolan
Said a politician on our national news [Trinidad] on visiting merchant shops in downtown Port of Spain:
"We've come out today to meet with these people, to let them know we care; you see, you have to make these people feel as though they are important"
Well said Mr Politician!
"My warm hands have made the paper limp,
So that its feel reminds me of slept-in sheets: comfortable and safe"
"All these things I say... I say them because I want you to know, I don't ever want to regret afterwards that I didn't say enough, I would rather say too much." ~ Samuel Selvon
There's a local Trinidadian saying:
'What eh meet yuh, eh pass yuh.' [that's the local dialect]
In standard english now: 'what hasn't come your way as yet, hasn't necessarily gone past you'

So that its feel reminds me of slept-in sheets: comfortable and safe"
