What we see is what they're trying to sell us. It's not true nostalgic as much as it is repeating old material because it's less expensive than new material.

There's so much stuff said about me that's not true, so now if something is hurtful and wrong, I send an e-mail or letter immediately, saying, This is not true.
很多关于我的事情都是假的，所以现在如果有什么事情是伤害性的，或者是错误的，我马上发一封电子邮件或者一封信，说，这不是真的。
Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
爱情的五官可以刺穿一切的心，它用绷带把所爱的人的过错包起来。它有翅膀，飞得很快，也飞走了。
