This seems to be it - I remember the movie where it was used "The Go Between" with Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Edward Fox. UBBFriend: Email This Page to Someone! Quotations Forum Who Said It? The Past Author Topic: The Past Helen Junior Member posted January 07, 2000 07:00 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The past is a different country; they do things differently there. Is this a quote or have I made it up? Can you help? Thanks Petrarch Member posted January 07, 2000 07:47 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You've got it right. I think the exact quote uses "foreign"" instead of "different": "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there." It's attributed to Leslie Poles Hartley, an English writer who died in 1972 (1895-1972). He liked to write tales about the fantastic and the macabre.

[a wonderful film, incidentally] The movie was based on Hartley's book.

I really don't know but in my new found country we say: Tsy avelan'ny ela tsy ho antitra (We are getting old as time pass by) nothing earthshaking you know we are gentle people ( I hope) but we say this: Ny anatry ny ray toy ny tsipak'ombalahy, mahavoa, mahafaty, tsy mahavoa, mahafanina which means: The reprimands of the parents are like the kicks of a bull, if they hit you, they kill you, if they do not hit you, they make you lose consciousness Watch out for the parents... and the bulls... in fact there has been a lot of bull around lately. Gotta run now... you know my lasopy gettin cold.. pettin my lemur... no shoes , hey len - hear that no stickin shoes here...its 74 degrees.
