If I had one wish, I would say to be born in the '30s and be young in the '50s and '60s. It hurts my racing heart when I see things so far from what it was back then. I envy those guys so much.
This quote reflects a deep nostalgia and longing for a perceived better or more authentic time in the past. The speaker expresses a sense of loss for the innocence, excitement, or qualities associated with the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in the context of racing or perhaps life in general. Such feelings are common when individuals observe how certain traditions, values, or experiences seem to have faded over time. It highlights human nostalgia and the tendency to idealize the past, sometimes overlooking its flaws while yearning for the perceived simplicity or greatness of earlier eras.
