Eric Sloane quotes
-
“There is no place for nostalgia in a progressive world. The new school not only ignores nostalgia, but condemns it. The world of yesterday is becoming an isolated world of remembrances and echoes so forbidden that, to decorate the present with it, you must often do so with a sense of humor or belong to a select group.”
-- Eric SloaneSource : Eric Sloane (1956). “American Yesterday. [With illustrations.]”, New York : W. Funk

“A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.”
-- Eric SloaneSource : Eric Sloane (2013). “Weather Almanac”, p.151, Courier Corporation
-
“Unfortunately, the only recognized relics of yesterday's farmers are obsolete curiosities when the greatest relic, their philosophy of living, is seldom considered.”
-- Eric SloaneSource : Eric Sloane (2004). “Our Vanishing Landscape”, p.15, Courier Corporation
