1 " It is the mystery of the unknownThat fascinates us; we are children stillWayward and wistful; with one hand we clingTo the familiar things we call our own,And with the other, resolute of will,Grope in the dark for what the day will bring "
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , The Complete Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
2 " Every great artist gives birth to a new universe, in which the familiar things look the way they have never before looked to anyone. "
