Romanticizing the past, is exactly that, romanticizing...here's a quote that always made me laugh:

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”

Now who said this?








Socrates, who bought the farm in the sky in 339 B.C

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose - the more things change, the more they stay the same.
