Joseph Addison

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.


A quote from Joseph Addison who was an English poet, essayist and politician. It came from an essay of his, written on Monday, June 21, 1712.

I chose this quote because I thought it was an interesting one to work with. Everyone sees different thing within their lifetime, some things may seem common to some people but may also seem new to others. The quote is open to almost anything from objects, sounds, visuals to feelings, taste and smell. To sum the quote up in one word, I would have to say the quote defines an experience.
