    A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    That familiarity produces neglect, has been long observed. The effect of all external objects, however great or splendid, ceases with their novelty; the courtier stands without emotion in the royal presence; the rustick tramples under his foot the beauties of the spring with little attention to their colours or their fragrance; and the inhabitant of the coast darts his eye upon the immense diffusion of waters, without awe, wonder, or terrour.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1753-06-26), The Adventurer, No. 67
