Summary
This quote suggests that the concept of missing the past, or feeling nostalgic, is closely tied to the experience of having a mother. It implies that a mother's presence in one's life creates meaningful and cherished memories that one would naturally long for and miss. The quote implies that those who lack this maternal figure might have a different perspective, perhaps suggesting that the absence of a mother's love and influence may lead to a lack of sentimental attachment to the past.
