Quote by Tom Waits
As a kid, I did want to be an old-timer, since they were the ones with the big stories and the cool clothes. I wanted to go there. Now, I guess I want to bring that with me and go back in time.
Summary
This quote reflects the nostalgia and admiration the person had for older generations when they were younger. They desired to be like the "old-timers" who possessed fascinating stories and portrayed a sense of style. However, as time passed, the individual realized that the key is not just to mimic the past but instead to incorporate the old-fashioned elements and experiences into their present life. Consequently, they desire to bring the essence of the past with them and relive it in their own unique way.
