(1) A quote from How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of your Life by Pat Williams with Jim Denney:

“Walt Disney was a walking paradox. He was probably the greatest nostalgist who ever lived—a man who treasured and revered the past. He spent millions recreating the Main Street of his boyhood, the frontier era of Davy Crockett, and Mississippi riverfront of Mark Twain’s time. He also went to considerable trouble and expense in resurrecting Abraham Lincoln. Yet, for all his love of yesterday, Walt had an obsession with tomorrow. As Imagineer John Hench put it, ‘Walt has one foot in the past and one foot in the future.'”
