NOSTALGIA


"Nostalgia - It's delicate, but potent.  Teddy told me that in Greek, 'nostalgia' literally means 'the pain from an old wound.'  It's a twinge in your hear far more powerful than memory alone.  This device isn't a spaceship, it's a time machine.  It goes backwards, and forwards...It takes us to a place where we ache to go  again.  It's not called the wheel, it's called the carousel.  It lets us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know we are loved."


- Mad Men episode 113, "The Wheel"
