Perhaps it's cheating, but I tracked down the quotation before sending  
the request to the list! 
 
The actual quotation is: 
 
"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there." 
 
The source is L.P. Hartley (1895-1972), The Go-Between, in the  
prologue. 
 
My source was the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. A search on the  
internet was frustrated by not having the right first line!
